Yes, fluoride can harm the fetus and contribute to thyroid problems, and yes, acupuncture can help you. Use natural toothpaste such as the one from Weleda with sea salt. Use a hair mineral analysis for testing heavy metal toxicity. All the best, Iva

Absolutely Leanne, get him tested. Yes, men can become hypothyroid, it’s not as common but it does happen. All the best, Iva x

Hi Barbra,

Hormones work in three month cycles, so that’s the
minimum before any improvements on a hormonal level
are visible. However it’s best to try to treat it
naturally by giving the thyroid gland nutrients
it lacks to produce thyroxine. You can find more
info on this in the NFP program.

All the best,
Iva

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, fell pregnant after being given an “all clear” from my doctor. I took Synthroid pills for about a month and came back to find my levels were to high. I had a miscarriage about six weeks later. We have been TTC for around three months with no pregnancy. How can I test for heavy metals in my environment? I went to the dentist and he gave me a flouride toothpaste to help with sensitivity, and had cavities refilled with white fillings. Could this be a danger to an unborn child? Do you think that acupuncture could help with balancing my hormones?

[...] good for fertility, when I read another article by the same guru saying these vegetables were bad for thyroid function. So I switched to butternuts, gem squashes and carrots. Who knows what the right thing was to do or [...]

Hi Iva
I was just wondering if it could also happen to men as my partner has a low sperm count and high cholesterol and depression and just wondered if it was only woman? He has never had his thyroid tested and do you think it would be a good idea to get it tested?
Its a great read thank you and keep up the good work x

Thanks Iva for the excellent article. I will for sure try that yoga pose. Pity about the broccoli and cabbage.
I had a TSH of 4.27 a few months ago but have been on meds to take it down to 2.2. Doc has increased the dose further, so we’re not yet done!
I have been using Emotional Freedom Technique also to tap on this problem:

Hi Eva

Great article thanks! After TTC for three years my doctor recently discovered that I have hypothroididm and I have been on thyroxine 50 every day for the past 6 months. How long does it take to sort fertility problems out? I’m desperate to fall pregnant!
