Hi all, just joined up as me and the OH are ttc number 2! I had #1 in 2010 after one month of trying after the pill no problems but a c-section birth due to complications. Found out two years ago I had under active thyroid so commenced on levothyroxine 100mg and 50mg every day!

We have started ttc and I have been taking pregnacare conception also it's early days. I am just concerned about the thyroid and haven't been to the doctor as yet to speak about thyroid and ttc. Anyone else here that has the same problems with under active thyroid and ttc?

Hi applemum, I'm in the same position as you although I was diagnosed with my under active thyroid before I had dd. I was only on 25mcg a day but am now up to 50mcg a day.

We've been trying for 6 months for number two and nothing yet. Feeling a bit disheartened as I conceived dd first month of trying! I need to see my doctor as my last TSH result was 2.9 and I've read that is should ideally be below 2 when ttc or pregnant, even if your current medication makes you feel fine. Do you know what your levels are?

It's just another thing to worry about!
