How does thyroid function affect fertility?

In hypothyroidism, low levels of thyroid hormone prevent the release of the egg from the ovary. It also interferes with the development of the embryo. If hypothyroidism is left untreated during pregnancy, it might result in premature birth, low birth weight, etc. Pregnant women or women planning to conceive should check their thyroid hormones and receive suitable treatment. Hyperthyroidism may have an adverse effect on male and female infertility. However, the condition is reversible once the normal thyroid gland function is restored.
