Can Letrazole affect thyroid levels?

About 6 months ago my ivf clinic checked my thyroid levels (2.5 I think) and as it was on the borderline they prescribed my 25mcg of Levothyroxine which worked well. Whilst waiting for ivf clinics to start up again I used some old letrazole (prescribed by different gynaecologist) and on cd10 of the same cycle happened to have my thyroid re-tested and it's now 3.4 so ivf clinic has upped my Levothyroxine dose and want to re-test levels in 6 weeks. This may mean I have to wait for my FET. I haven't mentioned the letrazole to the ivf clinic as I didn't think it was relevant, but after a bit of googling it looks like there can be a link between letrazole and increased thyroid levels. Most of what I found is cancer treatment related and has just confused me. Has anyone had an issue with thyroid levels when on Letrazole?

Sorry for the long post!

I'm posting this in case it's helpful to anyone in the future who stumbles across this. I asked for a re-test, 6 days after starting the increased dose of levothyroxine and my level is now 1.something (can't remember exactly). So no idea if the increased meds kicked in super fast, if it was a rogue result before or if the levothyroxine mucked everything up temporarily!
