Trying To Conceive. Have Under-active Thyroid. Irregular Period. Taking Levaxin. Help?

I have an underactive thyroid and I have been trying to get pregnant with my husband. I m taking levaxin daily and take blood tests regularly to make sure I m taking the right amount. But now I m 8 days late for my period yet the test didn t say I m pregnant. Is it because of the thyroid that I m late and have irregular periods?

Hello

Underactive thyroid can cause irregular periods and problem with conceiving, provided if not treated. In your case as you are in adequate treatment and follow-up, i dont feel thyroid should cause any problem.
