Heart New Here-Question about Thyroid & IVF

Hello everyone, My husband and I have been considering IVF for 2 years now after TTCAR in 2003. We have an appt with a 2nd RE set for 9/25, just for a 2nd opinion. I was diagnosed with Graves Disease in 2001 and am concerned that I may not be successful with IVF due to Graves. I haven't seen anything posted in reference to hyperthyroidism and IVF-would like to see if anyone is in the same situation and what their experience has been.

Elisa! I know that there are plenty of women here that have thyroid issues and when they log in will be able to answer your questions.

Best of luck to you!

hyperthyroid and IVF

Elisa, I'm really interested to see if you've learned anything more about hyperthyroid and IVF. I got pregnant with my first little guy with IVF and I think the pregnancy may have triggered my hyperthyroid condition (which may be graves - not yet diagnosed). I very much want to have a second child and would have to have IVF to make it happen. What have you learned?

I have hypothyroidism which is underactive, hyperthyroidism isn't something I know much about. Definitely do your research online, talk to your doctors and find an endocrinologist who can help you better understand your Graves.
