Thyroid hormones are so important to your baby's brain and nervous system development, hypothyroidism, especially during the first trimester can cause low IQ and problems with normal development.

Thyroid issues are also commonly diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) as both involve abnormal hormone levels. For women who get a diagnosis and treatment then their balanced hormones lead to significantly improved chances to have a baby.

Also in men thyroid can lead to a variety of fertility issues - reduced sperm volume and motility, Sperm defects, a lower libido, problems in erection, and lowered male fertility hormones such as testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
