Hi ladies,

I am new to this thread. I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) in 2005 and have been taking Synthroid since. Current dosage is 150mcg. DH and I have been TTC since 2004. I had a MC in 2004, a stillbirth in 2005 (started the synthroid after the SB) and another MC in 2006. I am currently on fertility drugs (Follistim 150 mg). Anyone out there with a similar diagnosis had successful pregnancies and what suggestions do you have in terms of meds and diet? I am concerned that the Follistim will affect my "normal" levels.

Hi Rose,


Welcome to our board.


I can't relate to your diagnosis but it would seem that your thyroid problems may be at least one of the causes for your ttc difficulties.
