Anyone have a thyroid problem and done ivf?

Hi!

I just recieved my giant package in the mail with all of my ivf drugs. I was reading the follistim information and it says do not take if you have thyroid problems. I'm wondering if my doctor saw that I had thyroid problems in my files. Anyway, does anyone know if it is even safe to take the follistim and a drug like synthroid for the thyroid together? I won't be seeing my doctor for several days and thought I would ask you guys. Thanks

Hi Carisa,

I'm sorry but I'm not sure. I do think it is possible RE may have overlooked your thyroid problem on accident. I would not wait until my appt and call him 1st thing Monday so that you have time to get new meds mailed to you if need be . Good luck and please let us know what happens for anyone else who may have thyrod issues and is put on follistim :)
