Austin - Doctor

[Guest guest]

Hello members,

I joined this group yesterday, still reading all posts and there is

tonnes of information! Thanks to all members for posting these messages.

A brief history about me - I am based in Austin, TX and have been

trying for a baby since last five years. We always were a case of

unexplained infertility but recently a new doctor ordered Thyroid test

and it came back positive for antibodies:

Here are the results:

Thyroid Peroxidase AB - 77, range < 35

Thyroglobulin AB - <20, range <40

TSH - 1.44, range .5-5

My new doctor is of the opinion that it is not too high, and can be

treated with Steroids with an IVF cycle. When I was looking for

information on internet, I found that this is called Hashimoto Thyroid

and can be a reason for infertility.

Now my question is - does anyone has similar experience? Should I

treat my thyroid first? Also, can someone suggest a thyroid doctor,

who also deals with Infertility, in Austin area?

I would definitely like to get an opinion before proceeding for IVF.

thanks,

Pooja
