Hi,
You need to make sure that your TSH is below 2.5 before planning pregnancy. If so, no issues with planning pregnancy. Please use Folic acid 1 mg from 3 months prior to planning pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Binu Parameswaran Pillai, Endocrinologist
