To Health With That! MTHFR Mutations and Methylation.

Subclinical hypothyroid and Fertility


Listen Later

Overtly low or overtly high thyroid levels are a well known risk factor for infertility, but today we're going to talk about something a little bit less well known, which is subclinical hypothyroid and fertility. Subclinical hypothyroid is when the thyroid tests are on the lower end of normal, but still within normal limits. The patient experiencing this might have symptoms of mild low thyroid, or might be asymptomatic, but research is showing a link between this "normal" thyroid and fertility difficulty. We'll talk about:

  • The effects of high and low thyroid on women's fertility
  • The suprising effect of low-normal thyroid levels on fertility
  • Thyroid testing
  • TPO antibodies (or thyroid peroxidase antibodies) and their effects on fertility in women with normal thyroid levels
  • Thyroid hormones and when they are prescribed for women in fertility situations
  • The effects of hyperthyroid and hypothyroid on sperm levels and sperm morphology (that is high and low thyroid function)
  • Routine thyroid screening in pregnancy
  • How naturopathic doctors can help
  • Thyroid is a known cause of fertility difficulty, but not all doctors are aware of the link between low-normal thyroid function and impaired fertility.
