Hello, Thanks for the query. Untreated or improperly treated hypothyroidism does lead to difficulty in conceiving. Because hypothyroidism causes disturbance in menstrual cycle and ovulation. Therefore, it is essential to achieve a strict control on TSH level. Ideally TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L. For being free from all the symptoms of that condition. However, if there is a desire to get pregnant then TSH has to be maintained around 2 mU/L, before conception. Later during the gestational period trimester specific TSH levels should be maintained. Thanks.

Get to know the correct tests to do as well as the treatment protocols. You might not get the right information from your treating doctor if he is not aware of the pitfalls of the testing and treatment protocols. That is the reason world wide hypothyroid patients are on life long medications with the the autoimmune component not addressed correctly The complete Thyroid profile has 7 tests and not the only TSH. FreeT4 and Free T3 which is usually done. This is the common mistake done by even Endocrinologists all over the world. What patients are prescribed is the synthetic. T4 Thyroxine known by brands like Thyronorm./ Synthroid /Eltroxin which may or may not be the correct drug. Because T4 -Inactive hormone T3 is the Active hormone. T4 has to get converted to T3 only in the presence of a healthy liver and adequate levels of nutrients like, Iodine,Zinc, Iron,Magnesium ,B12 ,Selenium and many others. The water you drink and take bath, Tooth paste you use ,Antibacterial soaps, Deodorants,Perfumes ,cooking oils ,cooking pots ,Plastics, foods like wheat and more have chemicals which interfere with your thyroid hormone synthesis and functioning. So correct them first before medication. Other wise you will be forced to take lifelong medication which is never needed. The TSH levels might be fine but patient is not fine and still has symptoms like fatigue, constipation,hair loss ,inability to loose weight but your Dr. says that your TSH blood levels are normal .The problem here is that your Dr. is treating the lab results and not the symptoms. You are told to take lifelong medicines which is probably never needed if you treat the root cause. Send a feedback with your name and please highlight your issue because I cannot see your health issue in the feedback area and try to most probably reverse your hypothyroidism by diet and lifestyle and few food supplements without any medication. I am a Lifestyle, and wellness consult works through Lybrate. I treat the root cause and not the symptoms The trigger for hypothyroidism varies from person to person and general guidelines might not work for everybody. So first step start cleaning inside your house your medications will never work. Learn about the thyroid gland strengthening supplements and recipes Make your thyroid work for you and not against you.
