You'll probably get different answers to your question- some people like to use Armour, which has T3 and 4 in it, but some people don't, because it's made from slaughtered beef, and they are slightly concerned about contaminants, including the remote change of BSE.

I do think you are on very safe ground if you take half of the suppement as T4 (synthroid, or levothyroxin), and half as T3 (Cytomel). This way, you can be sure that your body is getting enough T3, which is the form it actually uses. It may also have an antidepressant effect in addition to the Nardil- it's been helpful to me in that way. To ensure the maximum chances of becoming pregnant. you would want your TSH between 0.5 and 2, so it's worth getting regular checks for that. Actually, for the AD effect, my endocrinologist wanted mine between 0.4 and 1. You might be able to find out on the web what TSH level is considered most favorable for getting pregnant. I haven't looked, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere!
