Hypothyroid

Hi, I am 34 and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was 19. I was actually lucky because according to blood results all looked normal but with my symptoms, etc a doctor diagnosed me with subclinical hypothyroidism. I started levoxyl and started feeling much better. I eventually saw a specialist about 5 years ago and he upped my levoxyl so that my TSH would remain between .5 to 1.4 as that is when I feel best. That is considered too low by some doctors but I find if I get higher than 2.00 I feel sluggish, achey, etc. If you have symptoms of hypothyroidism make sure all the right blood tests are run and that you see a well enlightened DR. It can not only help your fertility but also make you feel so much better!
GL!
