PCOS and Your Thyroid

PCOS and your thyroid hormones could be effecting your ability to conceive naturally along with impacting your symptoms

Are you experiencing...

• Fatigue or Weakness

• Weight Gain
  
  
• Irregular Periods
  
  
• Depression

All or these symptoms can be signs of an under-active thyroid. A physician can determine if you have a thyroid problem rather quickly; with an exam and laboratory tests. A physician will tests specifically your TSH, T3, and T4.

If your thyroid is under-active it could lead to an increase in free testosterone levels that could be responsible for some of your PCOS symptoms and therefore your inability to conceive. An under-active thyroid and PCOS have similar symptoms, but require different treatment plans. Make sure your thyroid is functioning properly. As it is responsible for controlling your metabolism and other basic body functions. Therefore, it plays a vital role with your endocrine and reproduction systems.
