Hypo in family...

What I have come to realize is that there may be more (many more) than that who've not been diagnosed. My mother has many siblings, a lot of whom are on medication for depression. My sister has had many miscarriages, and dealt with infertility for years.
My concern is that these women in my family may be hypo, but either their Dr's are going by the higher "norms," or they've not even been tested, and this worries me.
I mentioned it to my sister and my mother, both basically "shrugged it off." They also seem to shrug off my own symptoms, even with my efforts to try and keep them to a minimum. (ie - rarely complaining, etc.)
I am sure this happens all the time, and I find it very sad.
Anyone else going through this and have advice?
Thank you!
