Can i get pregnant when my husband is on thyroid supplementation?
My husband was recently diagnosed to be hypothyroid and has been prescribed oral thyroid hormone supplementation.
My question is, since we are planning to start a family now, Is it safe for me to conceive?

Answer by M-Dog
yes, if he has the energy to have sex with you. Hypothyroidism is Myxedema, he will have fatigue, decrease libido and he will have intolerance to cold. His sperm will not be affected but he can’t have sex with you because he will be weak, low blood pressure and therefore he can’t have sex with you.

It should be safe to conceive, provided your husband is taking natural supplements for the thyroid. Drugs or chemical “supplements” are not safe.
For excellent advice, I recommend two doctors, Dr. Bruce West and Dr. Julian Whitaker. They are both in California, but they have websites and toll-free numbers.
You can call Dr. West’s office with questions – 1-800-231-8063. His Health Alert Store link is listed below.
Dr. Whitaker’s number is – 1-888-886-8213, 24 hours, 7 days a week. His site is also listed below.
