Brief Answer:
Fertility

Detailed Answer:
Hi

You can take any of these medicines. They wont have problem with thyroid medicines.

But these medicines including ovacare are not right treatment.

First you should get checked your fallopian tubes by HSG. Get your husband's semen analysis done.

If both are normal try getting follicular growth scan done to check ovulation. Having sex during ovulation increases pregnancy chances.

What you describe is cervical mucous thickness during ovulation which is natural. But this is not the most accurate way.

Use follicular growth scan or ovulation strip.
