It is a dream for many women to get pregnant and be mothers. There is excitement and joy in the beginning. However, a few conditions can make conceiving and pregnancy difficult or challenging. One health condition that often gets overlooked is hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid does not adequately produce hormones, and while hypothyroidism seems unrelated to fertility, these hormones play a crucial role in regulating energy, metabolism, and reproductive health.

When there is a drop in thyroid levels, the changes may be subtle at first, but inside the body, it can throw off ovulation, create imbalance in menstrual cycles, and create difficulty in conception.

This is why it is so important to know about hypothyroidism, especially when women are trying to conceive. In this blog, we will cover topics such as how hypothyroidism can influence your ability to conceive, signs you shouldn’t ignore, simple lifestyle changes to help, and possible treatments that can help restore fertility.
