TTC on Naturethroid?

Question

Hi, 
New to Glow and TTC our first. I had a total thyroidectomy in 2014 (Graves and Thyroid Cancer.) I was originally on Synthroid but wasn't feeling "well" on it, so my endo switched me to Naturethroid in fall 2015.

I feel better overall bit haven't had the magical "fertile!" change I was hoping for. Endo keeping my TSH low intentionally (currently .8) to prevent any thyroid tissue from reappearing.

He says that I shouldn't have issues conceiving at my current level. We've been trying for about 10 months (with one cycle messed up due to overseas travel and another I'm discounting since it was the month I switched medications.)

Any stories, ladies? In particular, from those who have conceived sans thyroid with low TSH?

Good luck to all of you!

Answer

Hi ladies! 
I also take NatureThroid and my holistic dr also prescribed a supplement called Adrenergy that helps with your adrenal gland. I have MVP (mitral valve prolapse) so I was nervous about taking an energy supplement but because it's a natural supplement, I didn't experience any complications! 
Taking both have completely helped my energy levels! To the point where I didn't have to take adrenergy anymore. 
I am currently 4 weeks pregnant and experiencing some fatigue but have yet to take the supplement until I check with my dr.

I would ask your dr about taking Adrenergy along with NatureThroid. You truly see a difference in your energy without experiencing negative reactions:)

Answer

I am on synthroid and I have been since 2012 and was on depo until September of 2013 and I haven't been pregnant yet. My levels are always in the safe range but no luck as of yet on getting pregnant. My endo told me 3 weeks ago that my levels had gotten lower and increased my dose and advised me on not getting pregnant. Which I found odd because she never mentioned this to me before and my vitamin d levels are always very low as well.

Answer

I'm curious as well. I have hashimotos and was put on Nature-Throid  (65 mg 2x/day) since August and my periods still aren't regular and I feel the same as I did before (though I had no complaints about how I was feeling before just irregular periods). I wish you much love and baby dust!
