I am also on Levothyroxin which is the same as Synthroid (50 mg) daily. In my case my symptoms were low body temperature, excessive weight gain and inability to lose the weight, dry skin, fatigue (I was sleeping 2-3 hours more a night and still was tired all day long). As Tulip mentioned above they say that because the cells are slow it can cause annovulation but doesn't always. I have been hypo for 4 years but I do ovulate every cycle, I've never been slow to respond to fertility meds and my egg quality is good. We questioned this however when our embryos arrested early and were slow growers from the beginning. As long as it is kept in check all should be fine. It's not uncommon for this to happen after having part of your thyroid removed.
