Hi, I am a 27 year old female, with a slightly under active thyroid. I started on 25mcg eltroxin daily, but because of drastic weight gain my GP suggested 50mcg each morning. Mt TSH count at the moment has dropped to 0.88 while both my T3 and T4 are within normal range. I would like to know how this could effect fertility and whether it would be possible to get pregnant. I am still gaining about 2kgs per month (which is very hard to accept). I also take iodine supplements. Any advise with regards to pregnancy and the weight gain would be appreciated.Thank you.
Hi, I think you can conceive.  Your thyroid profile is normal.  So, you can take some medicines like camphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles' growth by repeated ultrasound.  When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles.  Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks.  Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. For weight loss, you can do some exercises and yoga and maintain a healthy diet.  Hope I have answered your question. Regards Chat Doctor.
