Hello,
The thyroid may affect ovulation and the ability to conceive. On the other hand, the use of the right dose of the medications helps correct the thyroid function and improves ovulation and conception rates.
Thus, you will need to measure your TSH in 6 weeks from the last dose change to make sure it is reaching under between 0.5 and 5.
I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
