Your body's thyroid hormone requirement depends on several factors. It is true that you need to target a TSH of 2.5 and below while trying to conceive. You must see an endocrinologist for accurate dose adjustment and be in sync with your gynaecologist to rule out other possible causes of difficulty to conceive.
