Thyroid issues after baby?

[Mummawannabe]

Shoegal,
An abnormal reading could mean a couple of different things. Your TSH reading should be between 0.3-4 and if any higher than this it means you could be hypothyroid, readings lower than this can mean hyperthyroid.
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism after 12mths TTC and its the only thing discovered so far that was preventing my falling pregnant.
Basically the thryroid, pituatary gland and ovaries are all in the same system, the endocrine system, and hence if these are 'off' in any way so too is the reproductive system.
It can sometimes mean you are not ovulating.
I came off the pill at the start of my TTC and just thought that my long and random cycles for the first 12mths were because of that - but it may have been that i was not ovulating half the time - depending on my endocrine system.
I have been taking Oroxine daily since April and my levels are only just starting to get to a falling pregnant range, after playing around with med levels (trial and error).
An endocrinologist advised to fall pregnant i need to aim for TSH of between 1-2.
