Did anyone have issues conceiving whilst taking tyroxine?

Welcome to the forum, Staceytwedd.

It is high TSH which can make conception difficult. It is recommended the TSH of women planning conception should be in the low-normal range 0.4 - 2.5. Levothyroxine dose is usually increased by 25-50mcg when pregnancy is confirmed to ensure good foetal development.

Hi Stacey,

Me and my partner were actively trying for 11 months to conceive with my second son, he is 7 and has autism, which i have now found that it could be linked to thyroid problems! wouldnt change him for the world though..

where as before i was on levo and before i was diagnosed i became pregnant within a couple of months with my first son!

so yes your thyroid condition will have an impact on conceiving and needs to be optimally dosed to perform properly x
