[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TSH should be around 1.  I had a crap load of symptoms like 2-3 years before my TSH was 6.5, and I was subsequently diagnosed with hypothyroidism.  When I started to be symptomatic my TSH was like 3 and my Free T4 was at the very bottom of the range.  I wasn’t having periods either.  I didn’t start trying to have kids until I was already on medication, and my TSH was around 0.5. I would definitely pursue an endocrinologist for treatment.  My endocrinologist used to joke he got more patients pregnant than RE’s XD [/quote]

Ha ha yeah funny story about REs (reproductive endocrinologists), mine knew I am hypothyroid and did not think to check my TSH when I got pregnant.  I asked my OB to check it and it had shot up to over 5 at only 5 weeks pregnant from 2.3 several months before.  I don't understand why someone who is specialized in getting women pregnant would have this blind spot about such a common condition that is known to affect both fertility and pregnancy.

Interesting about your TSH and free T4.  My free T4 has always been normal even though my TSH got up to 10 before I was put on levothyroxine.[/quote]
