Hi, I think you can become pregnant. Continue the thyroid tablet, but better to increase the dose by 12.5 mcg after discussing with your doctor. The cut off for TSH in pregnancy is 2.5. Now , regarding the intercourse, you can have intercourse every 2 to 3 days after your periods stop. You can also start that from 12th day counting the starting of your period as day 1, not after finishing Siphene. You can track your ovulation by repeated ultrasound and when follicle is more than 17 to 18 mmm, take injection for rupture. Progesterone will be given for next 2 weeks after rupture is confirmed on ultrasound. Do a urine pregnancy test after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 cycles. Talk to your doctor regarding this. It is safe to become pregnant now.
