Hello
YOu are suffering fom hypothyroidism and that's why you have been prescribed ELTROXIN.
it is hypothyroidism which results in infertility and not the ELTROXIN you are taking.
You should have controlled thyroid status for conception.
your friends are wrong in their statement.
If your thyroid levels are all right then there are other reasons for your infertility.
Thanks

hello,
Elthroxin won't cause infertility ,it is a drug given when thyroid hormone is less in the body.It is a natural hormone secreted by thyroid gland which is needed for the normal functioning of all cells in body.Immature follicle is due to insufficient thyroid hormone and hypothyroidism itself causes infertility
