Does High Thyroid Antibody Levels Affect The Chances Of Getting Pregnant?

Hi, I got my thyroid peroxidise antibody test back with the results of 274.My nurse said normal range is in the negatives.I'm going to have I.V.F. done, so I am getting medication. My question is if this will affect the process any and if there is anything in addition to be sure that this will not hurt our chances of getting pregnant?

Hi, I think if your anti Tpo antibody is positive, it can lead to some autoimmune problems and can increase chances of miscarriages. So, you should take ecospirin, heparin and corticosteroids during your IVF after embryo transfer. Hope it helps.
