Will Thyroid Effect The Fertility?
Hi, I am trying to get pregnant for the last 7 months.my age is 36 years old. I have a 5 year old daughter.
In October 2014, my TSH was 12. After taking levoflox(50mgm daily) my TSH is a bit suppressed -0.2
My endo has told me to change dosage and take 50mgm every alternate day. All other tests ( T3and T4) are normal
Could the fluctuating thyroid affects my conception.
I have consulted a fertility specialist and all fertility test were normal(Tubal patency, pelvic scan , ovary function,Lsh level)
But my partners Siemens analyses show total motility at 27% and progressive motility at 4%.what can he do to increase motility and could this be causing problems with conceiving? Are there any other test you would recommend to check fertility-thanks

Hi thyroid levels do affect pregnancy chances. Get a repeat TSH done and prolactin levels too. Your husband can take some antioxidant prescribed by a doctor. Do a semen culture for your husband as sometimes infections may lead to decreased motility. You can try for ovulation induction with IUI. It will look be a good option for you considering your husband semen analysis.
