Ep. 262: Thyroid Health and IVF--What You Need to Know

Ep. 262: Thyroid Health and IVF--What You Need to Know

If you’re preparing for IVF or struggling with fertility, your thyroid health may be a crucial — and often overlooked — part of the picture.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the connection between thyroid function and IVF outcomes. Thyroid hormones play a key role in reproductive health, influencing everything from ovulation and egg development to embryo implantation and early pregnancy. Even mild or “subclinical” thyroid imbalances can affect fertility — especially for people with hypothyroidism or autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s.

We explore why thyroid issues are more common among people pursuing IVF, how thyroid antibodies may impact implantation and miscarriage risk, and why standard fertility testing doesn’t always tell the whole story. You’ll learn which thyroid labs matter most before starting IVF, how thyroid hormone needs can change during stimulation and pregnancy, and why close monitoring is so important throughout the process.

Most importantly, this episode is about empowerment. Whether you’re just beginning fertility treatment or already in the middle of IVF, understanding your thyroid health can help you ask better questions, advocate for appropriate testing, and work with your care team to optimize your chances of success.

🎧 Tune in and get practical, evidence-based insight to help you feel more informed, supported, and confident as you navigate your fertility journey.
