A member asked:

I have hashimoto's disease. what should i do before i try to get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check hormone level: Before getting pregnant you should be sure that your thyroid hormone level is normal. If you are on thyroid hormone replacement, your dose requirement may increase during pregnancy, so your TSH should be checked periodically during your pregnancy.
