I've been trying to conceive for a few months now, and I also have a thyroid condition. I'm wondering if my thyroid levels could be impacting my chances of getting pregnant. Has anyone faced this issue?
Your stress is completely valid, it is very scary when things dont happen fast. But thyroid is super common and totally treatable. Trust your doc, tension mat lo it will be fine.
Yes it can affect ovulation but don't worry. My gynac said TSH should ideally be below 2.5 for conceiving. She started me on a low dose and within 2 months my levels were perfect.
Honestly even I am planning now and wondering the same thing. Does it take a long time to get thyroid under control? If anyone has gone through this, please tell na.
Actually it can make it slightly difficult but it is totally manageable. Best thing is to get a complete blood work done first. Your gynac will guide you best on the exact dosage needed.
Along with whatever medicine doctor gives, do watch your diet too. I had GDM later so I realized early on how much lifestyle helps. Eat clean and try walking daily, it helps with hormone balance too.
I felt so broken when my blood reports came out positive for thyroid. I actually cried thinking it will never happen for me but then we regularised it. Just take heart dear, once you start meds it happens easily!
Having hormonal issues like PCOS or thyroid makes the journey thoda long but it is definitely possible. Don't lose hope. Just keep tracking your cycles and stay in touch with your doctor.
I totally understand how frustrating this waiting phase can be sweetheart. Don't lose heart, many moms with thyroid have healthy beautiful babies. Just hold on and take care of your health first.
