Trying to get pregnant with Hypothyroidism


Just wanted some feeback on anyone who has hypothyroidism or knows someone who has it and was trying to get pregnant. I am waiting for my levels to come down before I start trying however I dont want to get my nerves in a tizzy about this before I know more about it. I just found out about this 6 weeks ago and have been on meds. The doctor just increased my meds to help bring the levels down even more. I wanted to start trying this month but need to wait 6 more weeks. Let me know of any stories (good or bad) with anyone with hypothyroid. Thanks

I have hypothyroidism and before I found I had been trying to conceive well I never could and it took over my whole life I was always wandering why, until about a month ago. Im taking meds for it and also birth control but I want to try to conceive again but ive only been taking birth control for about a month... And dont know weather my periods will stay regular or if i will go back to going a year or more without having one and truly dont know if i could even have a baby only being on my meds for a month? can someone give me some advise... thanks

hi i was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism 6 months ago, i am getting treated for it and manage to stabolise my TSH level, i have always ovulated and my period was regular (some months late) but always there, however now that i am stable i have been trying to get pregnant for 4 months and no luck, i do have a 20months old daughter but desperately want another one. i was told by the doctor that it could take a while for the body to get back to normal state even with a normal TSH so, i hope that answered your question, dont worry too much beacuse that could effect your chances even more,  and best of luck to both of us

Hello Everyone,  I am 30 yrs old and I have Hypo disease. I have had this for a few years now and I have been unsuccessful in getting pregnant for the past 2 yrs now. According to the dr's my level are normal and where they want them to be, but I have not had a MS for 4 mths now. I don't know what to do. I really want to conceive because my husband and I love kids, but it seems impossible.
