Oh by the way Im 23 years old. I recently had found out that my mother was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism.
You can totally conceive. I have hyporthyrodism and conceived with both pregnancies the first month we tried.
I did not like Synthtoid at all, had VERY bad luck with it. With my first pregnancy I was up and down all the time. That is NOT a time to have your thyroid levels change alot, can be very bad for baby.
i had all kinds of problems with Synthroid even before I concieved (the first time)
I switched to Armour Thyroid and love it. It is the natural form of thyroid, not synthetic.
I have only had to change my dose 1 time this entire pregnancy (Im 34 weeks). I can tell I feel so much better on it.
Good book to read The Thyroid Solution.
Any other guestions I can help you with let me know. I have been thru all kinds of thyroid hell.
Also, gotta really watch which herbs you take. Some Herbs can actually make the thyroid worse. Vitamins are good. There are different types that are really benenficial
I also have hypothyroidism for 8 years now. I have baby number 4 on the way. You have to keep it under control but its possible!
Do you know when you ovulate? Or a ballpark? Those pee sticks for ovulation work pretty good.
Totally possible to conceive but my RE said to be sure to have your thyroid levels checked during pregnancy as it is VERY important during development - even if it is slightly low it can make a big difference in IQ of your child. Make sure it is well controlled before you conceive!! Good luck!
Thanxs for listening and responding to my Q's.
No, I dont know when i actually ovulate, especially since my periods been so messed up. In fact I'm still on it right now. I was thinking about getting those ovulation kits your see at the stores. Do you think they will work??
They worked for me. Certainly cant hurt anthing.
I used the ovulation detector last month and it said I should have ovulated around the 15th... but according to the blood test, we conceived on the 24th... so, I'm not sold on the ovulation kits.... it might work for you though, it's worth a try!! I have a friend that it took longer for her to conceive and her doctor told her it was due to the hypothyr. They put her on the meds and it was corrected and she was able to conceive very quickly.
It took my husband and I 20 cycles and clomid to concieve (but I also have a unicornate uterus and 1 ovary & tube). I was diagnosed at 7 weeks hypothyroidism. When that child was 6 months old I had thyroid cancer and was told after treatment I wouldn't be able to concieve. SURPRISE!!! My youngest is now 9 months.
Keep it under control and you should be fine. Make sure your doctor stays on top of your level to prevent m/c (I have had many).
Good luck!

I am 21 yrs old and I got diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 20 right after I had my baby. I want to have more children after I get my 1st degree, and i will be around 24 or 25yrs old. do you think it will be hard for me to have a child then.how did you become pregnant so quick? did you do any special techniques?I am currently on birth control, I have it implanted in my arm. I get it taken out in 3 years. I just started it 6 weeks after my daughter was born on october 3rd 2008. Do you think that will make it harder to try and conceive in 3 years or so?I would like to have my children right now but i can't because of financial circumstances.thats why i have to wait until i get my degree. I just hope its not to late.
i am 24 years old just had my first baby girl for about 3 month, i had my blood test and my midwife told me that my hypothyroidism is 0.57, i haven't get my first period after labor, i saw a lot of comments and it say it a big chance of being miscarried if you get pregnant ?? also, i was gestational diabete when i had my baby girl. can the diabete lend to hypothyroidism???
I am 30 yrs old and I have hypothyroid. We have been trying to conceive for over a year and have had no luck. This is frustrating and I am so ready to give up. I really want to have a child . My husband is also getting frustrated too, one time my thyroid levels are normal and then its out of wack. I dont know what to do anymore... I am so disappointed and frustrated.. Help any advise. I was also told that hypothryoid causes infertility.....
I have hypothyrodism as well. I am 24 and trying to start a family. That's up lifting to hear the comments. I can't have my period on my own so I'm very concerned because of it. Do you think its because I need to up my doses? I'm at 100 mg.
Im 24 as well with hypothyroidism. Im on 60mg of desicated thyroid. I went off the pill 1 and a half months ago. I got my period 2 weeks after I went off the pill. My husband and I are trying to conceive as well...I hate the waiting game!! My period seems overdue but after reading some comments it sounds like I might not even get a period for a long time. I just wonder if I am still able to ovulate?
Ive been doing a lot of research on thyroid and pregnancy. Are you feeling any symptoms of low thyroid? When was the last time you got levels checked?
I have hypothyroid sence 2004 and i had 2 pregnency. Just be calm its not easy for all woman but my pregnency is 3yrs apart and expencive jajaja i keeped on trying for my first had to go to a hotel and be relax and it came along my bby, my 2cd went for vacation out of state for 18 dys got my bby. take your meds daily but i also forgot it in my vacation ooops!
