Thyroid Issues

Another thing on thyroid. If you know that you have thyroid problems or suspect you might, be sure that your doctor is not only testing your TSH, but also testing you Free T3 and Free T4. This is very important because your TSH could look normal but your thyroid hormones could still be off. My doctors have been very dismissibe about my thyroid problem and discounted the connection to infertility and miscarriage.

I have known several people who struggled with infertility and then found out they were hypothyroid, treated it and got/stayed pregnant. Do any of you know of this happening?

Does anyone have a doctor who takes their thyroid problem seriously?
