Question about Hashimotos

amyalbertamyalbert member
in Infertility
Hi all, I've seen a lot of mention of Hashimoto's in people's siggies. Curious how you were diagnosed with this? I know my TSH levels were normal when tested in April -- but curious if that is all I should be checking or if TSH fluctuates?

Asking because my mom was diagnosed with Hashimoto's a few years ago. I suspect I'll inherit this, but imagined it would be later on in life. Gearing up for my 2nd round of IVF and just want to make sure I'm not overlooking another factor. 

Thanks!

Me: 33, "beyond stage 4" endo with bilateral endometriomas (removed Oct '13)
Him: 33, great

TTC since January 2013 (with 9-months off due to lap surgery & lingering Lupron)
IUI #1 with Letrozole 5mg - BFN (June 2014) 
IUI #2 with Letrozole 7.5mg- BFN (July 2014)

IVF #1 (Sept 2014) - Antagonist Protocol - 7 eggs retrieved, 5 mature, 2 fertilized normally. 
One embryo transferred on Day 3, one embryo allowed to develop further (but arrested). BFN. 

IVF #2 with ICSI (Dec 2014) - New clinic. 
Similar protocol, but tweaked -- estrogen priming instead of BCPs, higher dosage of Follistim, etc
