Discuss with REI: Your IVF doctor needs to know about the thyroid antibdoies. He/she will know whether taking low dose levothyroxine will be helpful.

Yes: if you have high thyroid antibodies, then you have thyroid disease. the normal values in the lab reference ranges no longer apply to you. thyroid is very important for pregnancy. see a specialist to take care of this problem appropriately. good luck.
