Brief Answer: Check a fresh thyroid status and let us know. Detailed Answer: Dear Ma'm, Hi! you have not mentioned your TSH/ FT4 values. alternate day of different doses is not a good idea. since when have you been on this alternate day regimen? please get a fresh thyroid profile as TSH / FT4 and let me know. Still, what I get from your status so far is that thyroid is not creating much of a problem in conception, it was well balanced earlier with thyronorm 50 mcg. you must ask your gynec to look for other causes for difficulty in conception. what is that Keraglo XXXXXXX I don't know about it. Sorry!
