Hiya.

I never heard of it (From soaking up thyroid or fertility stuff).

And I can’t think of a mechanism.

Good luck, whichever outcome you are hoping for.

I can't imagine why it would. It's only thyroid hormone, not a drug.

It's certainly not creating a new one. But, don't you believe that it's replacing the thyroid hormone T4?

I don't think so. But being undermedicated can cause early miscarriage.

You should be monitored as a result of the pregnancy. What was your last test result? How many weeks are you?
