I am levothyoxine for my hypothyroidism, and i am concerned that i won't get pregnant. I am on this medication, and i am trying fertility drugs now i am so desperate and i have a 17yr old and i had him at 19 it seemed easy to have him and i wasn't even trying. So man i do not understand, my husband now never had any children and we have been together for 13yrs and married for 6 this November. I am hoping i have some luck with the product i am using if not i will try something else before going for the extreme testing; that all for now thank you for letting me vent

What fertility drugs are u taking clomid,doing injectibales are you tracking your cycles? as long as you take ur thyroid meds and keep them in check that shouldnt keep you from getting pregnant are you on fertility drugs because of a ovuklation issue if so they have had good results with clomid to induce ovulation but it can take up to 6 months for it to work


and how is your sugar levels is your a1c at a good range most dr's want it around 6 before getting pregnant but even if its not at that range dont freat you have time to lower it and when i got pregnant with all my boys it was on the high side and they are all fine


If you have any questions feel free to ask away I have 4 kids and been a diabetic(type1) for 29 years

Alot of time it works out like they say. Stop trying so hard stress has a lot to do with it. You may need to just give it a break for a while. Just let it happen naturally. Take a vacation for a while and don't keep talking about it so much.

I just want to add my two cents worth here. Levothyroxine is the most common drug used to treat hypothyroidism. It's common name is Synthroid. It shouldn't have anything to do with your getting pregnant, especially if you have been tested and found to be on the correct dosage.


As the others have told you, stress doesn't help and many times when you stop trying so hard it happens miraculously. I also need to say to you that the woman isn't always the one can't get pregnant. In many cases it is the man who has problems so both need to be checked out and made sure that everything is okay. You shouldn't consider getting pregnant until your blood sugar is under the best control that you can achieve. So work closely with doctors on this and hopefully soon you will be surprised.

If your husband has not had a sperm count, that should be done!

thank you that is nice to hear so many people like to write back. I know i am trying to hard i am now 36 and when i was 19 i had my one and only boy, i am married now and he has never had children or even been close. He is getting checked soon this tuesday to be exact. Sometimes i hope it is him and it is simple not really i want him to be healthy also but sometimes i don't understand how it can take me 18 yrs to get pregnant and my sister got pregnant 5 times 2 abortions 1 adopted 2 she kept, that pisses me off so bad how she can get pregnant so many times and i can't. Does that make me a bitch.
