    There are MANY different forms of genetic hypothyroidism so it really depends. Also some Europeans have non-genetic hypothyroidism due to very low iodine intake. My friend in her 40s plus her mother, both here in Germany, have this latter type. None of my friend's 4 kids have it though. On the flip side, my donor, his mother, and his maternal grandmother all have a dominant autosomal form of genetic hypothyroidism, and I'm just hoping my kids don't get it. 50% chance unfortunately, though of course it's very treatable so not the end of the world.

    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    I am been on synthroid for 8 years. During pregnancy and nursing I need to have it checked every 6 weeks since it changes so dramatically, but then about a year after the baby is born it goes stable. My mom has thyroid issues as do my brother and myself, however I was different. Both my mother and brother had hypothyroidism and I had Graves disease and had to have my thyroid radiated/destroyed. My other brother does not have any thyroid problems. And my brother who has thyroid problems, has been able to keep his stable for years and years. So, it is annoying sometimes, but super manageable. Just one pill everyday basically.
    Thank you God and Our Lady

    Ohh that's a hard call. I would probably use the other ED.
