I am interested in knowing what thyroid meds some of you have used for hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's)and trying to conceive?

Also, has anyone switched from Synthroid (for hypothyroidism)to Armour? Although my dosage of 150mcg has stabilized my TSH levels--I still feel exhausted and have been TTC for over 12 months with no luck. I wonder if switching meds will help. Any thoughts?

One can be hypo but not have hashimotos (which are elevated antibodies). Be sure to have your antibodies tested and not just the TSH.

Good luck!
