Feeling frustrated and looking for a bit of help or advice. We have been going through the infertility cycle for a few years now.
clomid, 5 failed IUIs, One Cancelled IVF
After the latest issue (cancelled IVF), something came back up. Way back
when we started at our first clinic, they said the bloodwork had come back and showed that I was hyperthyroidism and need to go to my primary doctor to have it checked out. I did this and my primary doctor then came back and said I was hypothyroidism with the anti bodies for hashimotos. She said that I was to continue testing every few months but that there was nothing she could do for treatment.
The TSH levels on the test have been as low as 4.11 and high as 4.56.
I have many of the symptoms of hypothyrodism.
Reading on this message board and others, it seems that many REs are treating patients with high TSH levels until there levels are in the 1-2 range. Is this true? Has our RE or primary doctor missed treatment of this? Does anyone have a similar experience?
Your thoughts and help are appreciated.
