[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You may or may not be able to conceive with that level of TSH. The main issue is whether you have thyroid antibodies, which is something you can test for through a thyroid panel. If you have thyroid antibodies then it would be advisable to start on synthroid.[/quote]

This.  And see if you can get in with an endocrinologist.  It seems a lot of REs in this area don't manage thyroid.[/quote]

I had the opposite experience -- endo didn't want to treat me because my TSH was normal, but I had thyroid antibodies. I got pregnant easily but had multiple early miscarriages. RE (Dr. Abbasi at CFA) put me on synthroid when the endo wouldn't and I carried my next pregnancy (from IUI) to term.[/quote]

Yeah, I think Abbasi is the exception, not the rule, in this area.  My experience with SG REs was that they weren't going to manage it, and I'd have to look elsewhere.
I have thyroid antibodies and a TSH that fluctuates between 2.5 and 3.5.  My endocrinologist said that he would monitor but wouldn't normally treat for that level (I had no other symptoms), except for women who were trying to get pregnant...or those who were actually symptomatic (fatigue, hair loss, etc).
