Is it safe to get pregnant with Hyper?

Does anyone know if it is safe to get pregnant if you are being treated for Hyperthyroid? My levels are fine and I am on PTU and it is working fine. My endo told me that some people do it but it is best not to do it unless I have the radiation treatment to kill my thyroid first. I don't want to do the radiation. I have a four year old and I don't want to have to stay away from him for 5 days, which is what the endo says I should do if I have the treatment to keep him safe. I really want to have another baby but I don't know if it would be safe. I am afraid of a miscarriage if I try it. Has anyone ever gotten pregnant while being treated for hyperthyroid? If so, did you have to stop taking your meds or did the meds affect the baby? Any other help you could give me would be great. Thanks~Tonya
