Hello,

Thyroxine is taken for keeping thyroid level in normal range. If she will not take thyroxine, then she will have a problem in conceiving as increased thyroid level, affects pregnancy. Plus if she is not able to conceive in the last ten months. We need to find out the reason. Plus it's quite a less time to say, that there is some problem, but if she is above thirty she should definitely see an infertility specialist.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.


Regards,
