Thyroid issues

Just been informed by my GP I have under active thyroid. Could be hereditary, but I’m also wondering could it be due to postpartum (almost 9 months).

Anybody experienced this? Anybody found their levels went back to normal? I really don’t want to be on medication for the rest of my life.

Most likely postpartum. Mine jumped from being overactive to underactive and has recently leveled out close to normal. Currently 10 months PP. It does run in my family but I think my case was postpartum
