A member asked:
Tsh normal, but tpo antibodies 17. i am on levothyroxine 25mcg. will my conception be risky with this many tpo antibodies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Hi. TPO antibodies are markers of thyroid autoimmunity but play NO ROLE in thyroid dysfunction. Ergo, the antibody level plays no role in pregnancy risk.
