My wife has hypothyroid and we consulted a doctor in India and taking tablets regularly,
We are trying to conceive for almost 10 months, wanted to see a doctor who is able to handle both thyroid and TTC issue. Hypothyroid might affect this pregnancy, could anyone please let me know a good option.She is not able to gain weight (underweight) Thank you in advance

Sathyadev, Has your wife's thyroid level been tested since she started Levothyroxine? I recall it was quite high when you first posted. UK NICE recommendation is that TSH of women trying to conceive should be in the low normal range of 0.4-2.0 with FT4 in the top 75% of range.
Sathyadev, my apologies I missed out a decimal point which I've corrected, the range should be 0.4-2.0 which your wife is in. I don't know how long your wife's TSH has been 0.99 but it is likely that it will take a little while for her body to catch up with her good blood chemistry.
Sathyadev, I'm not knowledgeable about fertility and how long it may take, but it appears that fertility clinics in the UK wait around 6 months after thyroid levels are good before commencing treatment.
