Yes, this can definitely be a problem as far as conceiving. I think my endo said they want it between 1 and 3 if you are trying. My clinic tests this before procedures to make sure it is normal. Its also important to make sure its normal while pregnant - you often need to increase your medication.

Yours isn't too high so hopefully it will be within normal limits soon if you get on or alter your meds and you will be successful - good luck!

I had the same issue. My endocrinologist wanted my TSH 1-2 for optimal success. And I'll second Winkie - be sure to get it checked soon after you get PG - we had to almost triple my dose since getting pregnant.
