Brief Answer:
Get thyroid under control.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
You have heard right that hypothyroidism causes issues in conceiving as well as maintaining normal pregnancy.
But her TSH levels are not so high to cause worries.
She is on 50 microgram of thyroxine, this is good enough dose for her. You can plan a baby now. Get her TSH repeated after 6 weeks of treatment. Infact, if she conceives, we would take the TSH level to a level of around 2.5 uIU/ml.
As far as diet is considered she can eat whatever she likes. Just avoid cabbage in diet.
Also , important is to do regular exercises.
As far as Vitamin D is concerned, she can continue with supplements advise, nothing to worry.
I would advise you to get in touch with me once again once she conceives. As perfect management is thyroid is important at that time.
If you have any further query please ask me.
