An overactive or underactive thyroid can cause a cessation of menses - you stop cycling. If you are not cycling, you will not become pregnant. This type of infertility is usually reversible when the underlying problem - thyroid dysfunction - is corrected.

AnswerAn underactive thyroid, otherwise known as hypothyroidism has been shown to cause sterility if left untreated.

If you have hyperthyroidism which is bad for you iron or iodine?

If you have hyperthyroidism, neither iron nor iodine is bad for you. Excessive consumption of either can be dangerous however, and since iodine is fuel the thyroid uses to produce thyroid hormone, anti-thyroid drugs (ATD's) are used to help the body lower its ability to use iodine in the thyroid. Iodine is necessary for life however, as is iron. For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.
