A member asked:

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 5 to 6 years ago and berly 2 months ago started with treatment could this have affected me to get pregnant sooner?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: Why did you wait so long to be treated for hypothyroidism? What prompted you to get treatment now? It is possible that a poorly functioning thyroid can interfere with getting pregnant and vice versa.
