Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community for help.

I am assuming that you and your wife have consulted an infertility specialist.
Is a thyroid gland problem suspected?

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland produces too much of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can accelerate your body's metabolism significantly, causing sudden weight loss, a rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nervousness or irritability.

Changes in the menstrual cycle and fine, brittle hair are two symptoms.

Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland. Hypothyroidism means that the thyroid gland can’t make enough thyroid hormone to keep the body running normally. People are hypothyroid if they have too little thyroid hormone in the blood. Common causes are autoimmune disease, surgical removal of the thyroid, and radiation treatment.

When thyroid hormone levels are too low, the body’s cells can’t get enough thyroid hormone and the body’s processes start slowing down. As the body slows, you may notice that you feel colder, you tire more easily, your skin is getting drier, you’re becoming forgetful and depressed, and you’ve started getting constipated.

Because the symptoms are so variable and non-specific, the only way to know for sure whether she has hypothyroidism is with a simple blood test for TSH.

Regards,
Maryann
