I have a couple of questions:
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last week and I'm taking Synthroid 50 mcg. I gave birth 9 months ago. I was planning on getting pregnant again this summer but found out about the hypothyroidism just before (I had partial thyroidectomy 5 years ago due to a nodule - not cancerous - but had no need for supplements after that)..
1/ Is it common for women who have hypo and taking Synthroid to have trouble getting pregnant?
2/ How long to wait before getting pregnant again? Obviously until it's safe and my levels are normal but does it usually take weeks, months or years? My endo sounds very optimistic about a new pegnancy in just a couple of months...
T4 normal, TSH 20, antibodies positive.
Thanks.
