I have never heard of a reproductive endo, not that there aren't any. I am not having any more children, so I never looked for one.
I wouldn't worry about your low TSH if you feel okay. Are you jittery, diarrhea, anxious, trouble sleeping, heart palps???
I do believe your FT3/FT4 are within normal ranges, but I don't see any ranges posted. Each lab is different.
Just to be sure, it is a good idea to follow up with your endo.
Thyroid values between one and two? Are you talking about TSH? IMHO, a good endo won't fuss over the TSH without primarily considering the FT3/FT4 levels. Some of us hypothyroids on the forum don't feel well unless our TSH is below one.
I wish you the best in getting pregnant! I had a hard time getting pregnant, until my friend told me that she'd gotten pregnant by getting sick. When she came down with a cold, she came over and I drank out of her glass. (Desperate gals do desperate things!) Anyway, I did get pregnant that week! Hubby and I had been trying for two years.
Not that I advise getting sick right now with the Swine Flu floating about.

two more quick bits of info:
1. all my fertility work-up was normal in the past, though fertility acupuncturist has to do a lot to get my hormones in the right balance
2. my first labs were drawn after fasting at 9am while the second, normal labs were done in the afternoon after a relaxing acupuncture treatment.
hi, thanks! the first lab values were as follows:
tsh: 0.012
free t4: 1.38
free t3: 3.5.
i don't know the new lab amounts yet - my doc just emailed and said they were normal. she also said she had the lab run an antibodies test and that was normal. i can post the specifics when i get the actual report in the mail.
i will follow up with an endo, defininitely and have an appointment set for two weeks out (also have an ultrasound schedule b/c originally my doc thought she felt a very small nodule on the thyroid). do you have any thoughts on seeing a reproductive endo? i hear they try to get thyroid values to between 1 and 2, whereas perhaps other endos are happy if the values are within the designated "normal" range.
thanks again for any input.
Please post your T3 and T4 lab results and ranges. You, as the patient, have the right to get those labs. Just call the nurse. I was told my bloodwork was 'normal', but it really depends on the lab. Each lab uses different values.
I do think you should follow up with an endo, preferably one who specializes in thyroid - not diabetes.
