BTW, my baby is almost 6 mos. now. If you want to read the whole "crazy" story about my visit to my endo, go to: Getting to know you-I have my first endo appt. today....
I wasn't diagnosed as hypothyroid until my son was about a year old. Sometimes the thyroid condition is uncovered after pregnancy. Maybe that's what he meant??? I believe that once it's diagnosed it doesn't go away.
I would continue to be monitored for it on an ongoing basis - by your RE or family doctor.
Postpartum thyroiditis is real, and if you have relatives with autoimmune thyroid disease you are at a greater risk for this. Here is a link to some info about it:

Has anyone ever heard of post-partum thyroidism? I think my endo is a quack.
