Two months after birth of my little one I was (finally) diagnosed with auto-immune thyroid (although I have been suggesting this to the gp for years given I had antibodies and my brother has the same condition). Been trying to conceive number 2 for more than 18 months...seeing by a great NHS (yes!) gyn/obs and after some tests she has told me, 3 months of tamoxifen if it does not work you are left with IVF.....
I am 38, in good health if you exclude the thyroid bit, but I am one of the few lucky people who are well responding to T4 only and has no major side effects....I am also on 200mg iron and 1000IU/daily of colecalciferol ......I hope someone has a good and encouraging story to share
