Hmm, I don't know. Isn't option E just a reverse of option D? I'm still trying to figure out the best strategy here.

I'm leaning towards option D. Switching from propylthiouracil to methimazole seems like a sensible approach during pregnancy.

Option B looks good to me. Propylthiouracil is the way to go for pregnant women with hyperthyroidism.

I would go with Propylthiouracil first trimester followed by methimazole for the remainder of pregnancy, to minimize the risk to the fetus.
