Hoshimoto's and fertility?

Question

My husband and I are currently ttc and last week I found out that I have hoshimoto's thyroiditis. I read online that this can make it difficult to get pregnant. I was just wondering if there is anyone on here that has gotten pregnant while having hoshimoto's. I just feel like everything is stacked against me at this point. 😔 I need to hear success stories!

Answer

I have Hashimoto's. I was diagnosed after my son was born. It's took a little over a year to get my levels where they needed to be but I had no issue concieving afterward and I'm currently 33 weeks 5 days. Make sure you're having your tsh tested every 8 weeks and getting it as close to a 1 is super beneficial for pregnancy. Some doctors aren't up to date on studies and think because you're at a 5 or below you're in normal range. That's just not true. If I were more than a 2.5  I woukld be symptomatic. My levels are stabilized just over a 1.0 now that I'm so far along.
