I'm Pregnant!

Thursday December 2, 2004
A reader wrote to me in late October: "I am overweight, a hypothyroid and have been trying to become pregnant for a few years now. Being that I was also diagnosed as having polycystic ovaries and insulin resistance, until recently, I was sure there was no hope for this to happen without the help of a fertility specialist. Ms. Shomon I'm only one month shy of turning 25!...I began to do some research and that's when I came across your Thyroid Guide to Fertility, Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Success. In conjunction with The Thyroid Diet, I am elated to say that it has given me new hope and inspiration that the impossible is attainable. I have changed my diet drastically and slowly but surely am beginning to lose weight..."

And then...just weeks after that email, I received the following amazing news from her a few days ago...

"Thank you Ms. Shomon for the advice, and, I must say that your books and guides have definitely helped. Yesterday I received the best news of my life...I am pregnant!!! I don't know how to thank you enough. All I can say is that you are a Godsend. Without you, I would have never known how much control I actually do have over my thyroid disease and I definitely wouldn't be pregnant. Thank you so much."

These are my favorite kind of emails!!!! -- Mary
