Hello doctor, I am 36 years old and weigh about 100 kg with no medical conditions except for hypothyroid. Can I get pregnant?
Hello. You surely can become pregnant. Keep a watch on your weight and keep thyroid under control by maintaining TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) levels around 3.5. Obesity usually is associated with insulin resistance and may be PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) in your pelvic scan. First, take a fair trial especially on your ovulatory days (pregnancy days), and work on the above factors. You will have to continue antithyroid drugs during pregnancy also.
