Hi, I'm new - Thyroid ?
Hi ladies
I'm new on LIF - FH and I are getting married in Feb. and want to start TTC right away as we are not getting any younger
I have thyroid issues and take synthroid and i was just wondering if anyone else has had trouble conceiving because of this
thanks!!

Re: Hi, I'm new - Thyroid ?
I would let your endo know you are TTC so he/she can evaluate your medication dosage. Best of luck

Re: Hi, I'm new - Thyroid ?
My current endo said they prefer to see your TSH level between 1-2 when pregnant. I don't know where it should be at when TTC, but I assume in that vicinity.

Re: Hi, I'm new - Thyroid ?
I have hypo-thyroidism and have been on synthroid since I was 17. I just wanted to let you know that I had no problem conceiving and am now 5 months pregnant. Since being pg I have had to have my synthroid increased twice but the Dr says that is normal. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

I was on 125 mg before I was pregnant and Dr. still has me on the same dosage at 11 weeks preg. I conceived on 1st try even though I was worried that I'd experience a delay bc of my thyroid problem too.
