Default A whole bunch of questions!

I found out today that I'm hypothyroid (I've actually known for several weeks but finally had the consult today). The RE told me to take synthroid (can't remember how much-getting scrip later today) but I didn't ask everything I needed to when I was there about interactions w/ other medications!

I also take:
3000mg Fish Oil
81 mg Baby ASA
1000mg cinnamon
prenatal

As well as starting 850mg Met today

Does anyone know if any of these interact w/ each other? I'm wondering about the fish oil w/ the Synthroid & the cinnamon w/ the Met.

Also, how long does it take for levels to be normal? We're wanting to TTC & I actually want to be pg in Sept b/c I turn 35 in June & wanted to avoid all the "older pg mom" testing if possible (have to get them if you turn 35 anywhere in your pg'cy). I know that's asking alot but once I O, I get pg pretty easily I also want to make sure my levels are in the right range just in case the thyroid is what caused all my previous m/c's so don't want to rush! I just want to start TTC by the end of Aug (have final consult 8/19!)!

Thanks,
Traci

I'm no expert, but I think that taking what you're taking should be fine. I don't think there would be any bad interactions. As for levels reaching normal, it varies. Your doc should test your levels again after you've been taking your current dose for 6 weeks. Hopefully they first dose you try is the right one for you. If you're still hypo then they will increase the dose and test again in another 6 weeks. Good luck!!
