It's really good that you were dx with hypothyroidism prior to getting pregnant. Once you're hypothyroid, you always are. You will need to take medication for the rest of your life to replace the thyroid hormone that your body does not make. It's really important to have your thyroid under control while pregnant bc an out of control thyroid can have negative effects on a developing baby.
After three months on synthroid, your doc will have your TSH levels tested again to see if your dose needs to be adjusted. Once pregnant, you'll have it test several times too, to ensure you're on the correct dosage while pg. You will need to continue your synthroid while pregnant as well.
I, too, was dx with hypo when I went to an RE for my lack of periods. Like you, my isulin was ok but my ovaries had lots of cysts. I started on synthroid immediately and have had it adjusted a few times over the last few years. Getting it under control certainly helped my energy level. I hope this info. helps-let me know if you have more questions. Best of luck to you!
