Over the last 2+ years Ive gained 50 pounds due to premature Ovarian Failure and Hypothyroidism. I was originally diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2014. My whole medical history is explained in my prior posts. I would retype but my history is super complicated due to rare illness. I have now been on

Taking LEVO. Should I stop eating goitrogenic vegetables?
I’ve just read about Goitrogenic foods and their effects on the thyroid. Do all of you that have Hypothyroidism and are “in the know” avoid these? I’ve been vegetarian (for many years) and my evening meal always consists of lots of vegetables, (including cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower etc), but I’

Underactive Thyroid Experiences?
I have had 1 failed cycle of ICSI. Since then I have had lots of tests to do everything possible for next round. 1 test that wasn’t done in clinic and has flagged up seperately is that my thryroid is 4.05. After doing research i believe under 2.5 is the magic number for pregnancy. As a result of this
