PCOS and Your Thyroid

PCOS and your thyroid hormones could be affecting your ability to naturally conceive along with making your Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome symptoms worse.

Are you experiencing...

• Fatigue or Weakness

• Weight Gain

• Irregular Periods

• Depression

All of 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 test specifically your TSH, T3, and T4, all thyroid hormones that impact the functioning of your Endocrine System.

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 Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome have many similar symptoms, but require different treatment plans.

Make sure your thyroid is functioning properly because it is responsible for controlling your metabolism and other basic body functions. It plays a vital role with maintaining balance and proper functioning of your Endocrine and Reproductive systems.
