A member asked:
Does taking a low dose syntroid (50 mcg) lower the chances of fertility/health of baby in and of itself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thyroid: Thyroid medication should be taken only if you are deficient . If deficient, it has to be optimized by supplementing. Otherwise it can cause infertility problems and miscarriages.
