Just found out about hypothyroidism whilst TTC

I got my bfp last and found out we'd had a mmc at the dating scan. Since then I've had a couple of blood tests which have showed ever elevating TSH levels to the point they are sure I've developed hypothyroidism. T4 levels are still just within range.

While of course it is very treatable, I've been feeling pretty gutted because I understand it's an obstacle to conceiving until the meds kick in.

Anyone else find out about/develop hypothyroidism whilst TTC? I would love to hear any stories and also wonder if anyone understand how long it might take for me to be back in with a chance of conceiving. Yes, I'm very impatient!

Thank you lucky Smile

Thank you too for replying, sofa. Did you find it easy to manage during your pregnancy? They said they'd want me back at the doc's as soon as I get a bfp, so I guess that probably means they keep a close eye on your levels throughout?

I spent 3.6 years ttc and succeeded after being on thyroxine for 1 year. I had other diet and lifestyle issues which didn't help my fertility though, and when I addressed these I got pg straight away, so hopefully once the meds kick in you will get pg very quickly :-)
