Hypothyroidism (low thyroid problem) and pregnancy?

My husband and i have been TTC since we got married almost 4 yrs ago and had no luck. then a year ago i thought i was went 3 months with no period and went to the dr after negative preg. tests and they told me i have hypothyroidism. which can cause a woman not to ovulate and have no period ive been on medicine for it now over a year. does any one else have hypothyroidism and had any luck with getting prego's? how do i ask my doctor to put me on clomid to TTC can i ask him to be put on medicine to help us get pregnant without having to go to a fertility clinic? or is the hypothyroidism even making me infertile? HELP!

First thing to work on is getting th first thing in the morning TSH around 1.0. If any higher, pregnancy may not happen. Also, once pregnant, its important that the TSH stays around 1.0 so not to miscarry.

You may also want to get your progesterone levels checked. Many who are hypothyroid, have low progesterone levels. This was the case for me. I use a USP grade progesterone cream. I have a friend who is hypothyroid and was only having 2 or 3 periods a year. She started using the cream and is now have period every month.

Best of luck in getting pregnant.

i am almost 6 months pregnant and have hypothyroid for the last 3 years. We tried for a year lost one. but now all looks good.I just told the ob Dr. how long we have tried and asked him to put me on clomid. And he did not all Dr.s will, just need to find one that will. have hope. Report It
