[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes you should get the number.  "A little off but still fine" could be like a 4 or a 5 which is not great.  I can't speak to how much  it will affect your odds of conceiving, but once you do conceive your TSH will likely go higher and it will be harder to control if it's already high.  That can put the pregnancy at risk.  You want it below 2.5 while TTC.  Also, when you do get a positive pregnancy test, get your TSH checked immediately.[/quote]

+1... my tsh was >4 last year when I had my consult with a new RE (relocated out of state). very surprised he wasn't too concerned about that level to treat. my previous RE was a saint he had me on synthroid to manage.... well thank goodness I sought acupuncture and was started on selenium supplements. 3 months on it and my tsh dropped just 2.6. for which I did get pregnant for the first time ever but later MC... my acupuncturist recommended a tsh level between 1-2. so that's my key. and will be getting bloodwork to manage once I get pregnant again[/quote]
