Suggest Remedy For Infertility Problem

Hello, I m 28 years old and diagnosed with hashimoto thyroiditis last year. Had 1/2 of thyroid removed in August and have been ttc with husband ever since. Thyroid Doctor has me taking 75 mcg of synthroid and currently my TSH is 0.05. I understand this is low and my obgyn wants my medication lowered to raise my TSH. Thyroid Doctor wants me on higher dose to keep the other half of my thyroid supressed so it doesn t grow nodules like the other side did. He says my TSH is fine because of my T3 and T4 levels. My question, finally, is could this be the reason why I can t conceive? I ve been using ovulation predictor kits that have indicated I am ovulating. Thank you for any help!

Ayurveda Specialist,  's  Response
All over the world general physicians and endocrinologists think that they can decide the dosage and regime of TSH and most of the times they have diverse opinions.

While endocrinologists have upper hand in deciding dosage of medicine for maintaining levels of TSH, other doctors have their own reservations. It's a complex issue of discretion of various specialists and should not be commented upon by all and sundry.

Here is where holistic approach gains importance. In Ayurveda medicines which help to manage thyroid problems, also manage endometrial cleansing to help conception and maintaining Hb levels too e.g. Arogyavardhini Vati. ( this is only an example). Ayurveda doctors also plan various combos such as Kanchnar guggul and Arogyavardhini vati etc decided on the basis of given circumstances.

To abridge, my opinion is that Ayurveda specialistay be consulted to find a middle way. Current regime and Ayurveda do not counteract or interact if given concurrently at required gaps.

In our career we have seen such complex cases finally conceiving with the help of Ayurveda. We have respect for all the systems.

Hope this guides you well. Don't worry, be happy.
