Hi guys, just been told I have an under active thyroid so I’m 50mg of levothyroxine, how quickly can I get pregnant since being on this? I already have a baby boy. So been ttc for 7 months but feeling hopeful now I’m on this? But how long did it take you all to conceive once being on this?

When to BD?

Happy February All. This will be cycle 7 of TTC baby no2. Can anyone advise which days to BD? I’ve read it’s not good to do it daily due to sperm quality? OPK is very low today so and blank circle on CB test. Is it worth starting tomorrow so 2nd, 5th & 6th maybe?
