It was found that abnormalities in thyroid function could be related to menstrual irregularity and may have adverse effect on reproductive health. Hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) affects fertility as the ovulation cycle is affected. There is also a higher chance that a fertilized egg is unable to implant securely as the second half of the menstrual cycle is shorter. Treatment for this condition is available and it is likely that improvement of the thyroid function could help with fertility issues. Here is an article with more details on this condition and how it affects fertility: http://www.pregnancy.com.au/resources/topics-of-interest/preconception/is-poor-thyroid-function-impacting-your-fertility.shtml
