fertility meds

Any issues with taking any at all? I'm specifically concerned about metformin since it's a diabetes drug.

Also, would a TSH that's too high while trying to get pregnant automatically trigger a diagnosis of hypothyroidism as far as the FAA is concerned? My dr has told me they like to see a level of 1 vs. the regular hypo cutoff which is higher. Would going on meds for this be considered a diagnosis? Or are the meds themselves disqualifying?

TSH doesn't measure hyperthyroidism. It's usxed to measure hypothyroidism. All I can say is, if it went up (TSH) in response to LHRH, the agency would just require a normal value after the expen$$ive course of LH+RH injections was concluded.

Metformin is a problem.I think it best to stand down during the period of trying to get ovulated- the agency will have mondo problems with that and the risk of becoming hypoglycemic when you weren't elevated (glucose) in the first place.

To OP, just wanted to say good luck, and send me a pm.
