Actually I was on the propyl for about 2 years with no problems and then switched to methimazole when I was pregnant. I didn't really have any problems with either of them, but I didn't see any drastic results either. And 4 weeks after I had my daughter I received the radioactive iodine treatment, which didn't kill my thyroid off like it was supposed to, but instead my levels have been steady without meds now for the last 4 years.
