Jen,
I'm glad you found this thread- I think there are some other thyroid threads too. Another good link is Mary Shoman's thyroid website- there is a section on thryoid and fertility/pg.
http://thyroid.about.com/cs/pregnant...infocenter.htm
I hope that this info helps you in your journey. I think Shoman has an article to print and bring to your doctor, b/c unfortunately most doctors just blow us off when we bring up the thyoid/fertility connection (I don't know why). Ask to be tested for thyroid antibodies (both types) when you see your doctor and demand to be treated if your TSH is above 2.
