Yes: If you are not going to follow the advice of the endocrinologist you need to find one you can trust and work with.Thyroid disease is very serious in pregnancy and can effect your baby's whole life if it isn't treated right. You might discuss seeing a specialist in high risk pregnancies too since it is a bit different when you are treating 2 patients instead of just 1.Best wishes for u and the baby
