I'm currently on 125mg and I read somewhere that it could mess up your ovulation has that been true for anyone? btw last time I O'd was back in sept and now I"ve been having back to back annovulatory cycles. And are there bad side effects using it with clomid? I will eventually start back on that once we get done with testing.

well i am on 88mgs of lev. i dont think it has bad side effects using it with clomid or my doctor wouldnt have given it to me. i dont think it effects your ovulation either. now haveing a thyroid disease and not getting help with might effect it. but i am not to sure.

I think the only way that it could "mess up" your ovulation is if you've been given too strong of a dose, which could push you from being hypothyroid (not enough thyroid hormones) to being HYPERthyroid (too much thyroid hormones).

If your dose is titrated correctly (i.e., the "ideal" TSH level for women trying to conceive is between 1 and 2, NOT the broader ranges that qualify as generally "normal"), then you should be fine.

Regardless of whether or not you're on fertility meds of any sort, you NEED to make sure that your thyroid levels are controlled - ESPECIALLY when you get pregnant. Uncontrolled (or not optimally controlled) thyroid function can cause a lot of issues with pregnancy (including loss, decreased fetal brain development, etc). Once you GET pregnant, you will want to have your thyroid levels checked regularly (at least once per trimester).

HTH,

My doc just prescribed me Synthroid and Clomid at the same appt this week so I doubt there are any dangers to taking the two together. I did see on my little drug info pamphlet that came with the bottle of pills that you should discuss it with your doc if you're taking synthroid with met or clomid. I'm taking all three (but my doc knows that) so I'm trusting that she'd have taken it into consideration..
