In a cohort of euthyroid infertile women, subtle variations in TSH are not correlated with impaired reproductive outcome

The thyroid is critical in metabolism, steroidogenesis and development. While treatment of thyroid abnormalities in reproductive-aged women is universally accepted, the threshold for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is still debated. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine suggests 2.5 mIU/L while the American Thyroid Association recommends 4.12 mIU/L. Fertility, particularly ovulation, implantation and miscarriage risk, is impaired by thyroid dysfunction, but there is limited understanding of artificial reproductive technologies (ART) outcomes in euthyroid women.
