My test results are below
my TSH is less than .01
thyroxine is 16.3
uptake is .56
free thyroxine is 9.1%

I am currently on tapazole to get my levels down and they have come down slightly but not nearly enough. I am scheduled for an uptake next week and then i have been prescribed a full radioactive iodine uptake once my results come in. I'm 38. I have one 18mo child and we want another baby. i've ben discouraged to try further for a child until all is under control with me and if I go forward with the full uptake, my waiting period for conceiving/trying for a baby is a year. I'm afraid of the complications with receiving the uptake and I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience they would like to share with me.

Wow...a year....that's pretty discouraging when you're eager to have another child.

Are you talking about an uptake, or an RAI treatment to kill off some of your thyroid? If just an uptake requires a 1-year wait, and your levels aren't where they need to be, I might explore the option of an actual RAI treatment, which could really make a difference in bringing your levels under control. (What will the uptake do?)

Then again, maybe we're saying the same thing???
