My wife has recently been diagnosed with thyroid and although the doctor said there is nothing to worry, she is extremely anxious. We are trying to conceive and her worry is now worrying me. What should I do?

A huge number of women are diagnosed with thyroid. Mostly harmless, a thyroid disorder might affect the fetus's growth. This is the reason doctors usually monitor thyroid levels and ensure that the levels are controlled before giving the green light to women. So, if your doctor has said there is nothing to worry, that should be the final word. You should try to convince your wife with the logic behind thyroid, conception and the growth of the fetus.
