Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi,

You are having mild under functioning thyroid (Hypothyroidism). One indication of treating this condition is if you are planning pregnancy. It wont be a cause for sub fertility, but it can affect your pregnancy outcome like abortion risk is increased. I suggest you to continue with thyronorm and recheck thyroid function test after 2-3 months. Your TSH should be below 2.5

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
