And I am so guilty of that. PB always wants to chat someone up, and I smack him on the arm. Not because I'm embarrassed, but because I worry about their feelings. It's silly, I know. I imagine it would be nice to actually be able to chat in the dr's office like a normal person.

But it's reassuring that it's not so bad, even "worst case" scenario. Thank you – it’s just feeling like the straw that wants to break my back at the moment.

It's pretty unforgivable that your doc hasn't been testing at least TSH since you got your BFP, I think mine has already been tested 4 times in my 13 weeks but maybe that's because I have a history of thyroid issues. I have Graves disease, an autoimmune condition that causes you to be severely hyperthyroid, I also had the RAI treatment (like your SIL) - no big deal, just swallowing 2 pills in a padded room and being warned to stay away from kids for a few days (hard to do with the sprogs, I know). However, with me, I swung hypothryoid almost immediately, which was really tough -- going from sweat and shaking to depression and exhaustion. However, it's an easy manage - I pop a synthroid pill each morning, get my levels checked a couple of times a year (when not preggo) and go on my merry way. I hope you also don't swing hypo since yours is pg-caused, but just wanted to let you know that if you did, it's not all that bad.
