Hi, I am in the middle of a workup for recurrent m/cs, and had a TSH along with an FSH, etc. done on cd2. It showed a 4.9, which the RE said was borderline hypothyroid. She prescribed synthyroid for me (a small dose), and said that unless the level was lowered, my chances of conceiving were less and that it could potentially have been a cause of my recurrent m/cs. Hope that's helpful. Take care, Alison
