TSH Levels (underactive thyroid) and ectopic

Hi

I previously had an ectopic pregnancy loss. I have recently been told I need medication for underactive thyroid and just wanted to get any info I can from anyone who has had a successful pregnancy following an ectopic and then also having this thyroid issue? Thank you

Dear Have_faith,
As far as I am aware there is no correlation between hypothyroidism and ectopic pregnancy.
We are unable to give individualised medical advice but I have looked at an NHS resource and there are some factors to consider when planning pregnancy. I would therefore advise booking an appointment with your doctors surgery to discuss this.
