Thyroid issues are common in women of reproductive age and can affect fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum health. 🤱
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland at the base of your neck that produces hormones responsible for many body functions, including metabolism, gut health, sleep, cholesterol balance, ovulation, and menstruation. Hypothyroidism can also affect hormone production, especially s*x hormones like estrogen and progesterone. A study of nearly 400 women facing infertility found that 24 percent had hypothyroidism.
If you are trying to conceive or have a thyroid condition during pregnancy, here are a few important steps:
🩺 Get comprehensive thyroid blood tests, not just TSH, and have them checked regularly.
🥗 Focus on an anti-inflammatory diet by reducing gluten, dairy, and processed foods.
🌱 Work with a holistic practitioner to see if medication or supplements are needed based on your unique situation.
