Hypo-infertility
Hi there,
i have hashimoto thyroiditis which means I will end in hypoactive thyroid soon. I have been trying to get pregnant and have had two miscarriages in the last 2 years. My problem however is since I have antibodies fighting my thyroid, I cant begin any hormonal medication.
From the information I have been gathering from doctors, I am under the impression that you should be on medication(hormons), which will put your thyroid in range and should then not effect your pregnancy. Are you taking any medication?

i also have this condition. i have been trying to get pregnant for a year but no luck. i take medication to regulate this condition so i dont believe this is the problem. for te question above, i am pretty sure if you are not ovulating you cannot get pregnant. ovulation is the release of an egg, without that egg you cannot get pregnant. medication should regulate your thyroid and within a couple of months ovulation should no longer be the problem.
