In this enlightening episode of Fertile Talks, Dr. Yemi Famuyiwa dives into a hidden but common cause of fertility struggles: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. This autoimmune condition—where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid—often goes undiagnosed in women of reproductive age, yet it can silently disrupt ovulation, hormone balance, and even lead to miscarriages.
Dr. Famuyiwa explains the difference between hyperthyroid and hypothyroid phases, how antibodies like TPO can impair thyroid function, and what testing and treatment options are available. If you’ve faced unexplained fertility challenges, irregular cycles, or failed embryo transfers, this episode may offer the missing piece of the puzzle.
