Can you prepare for pregnancy with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis?

It is possible to conceive with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but it is recommended that patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis have their condition stabilized and prepare for pregnancy under the supervision of a doctor. If a person with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is in the hyperthyroid or hypothyroid stage, the thyroid function is abnormal, which may affect the pregnancy status and the health of the fetus, and it is not recommended to prepare for pregnancy. It is recommended that patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis prepare for pregnancy when there are no obvious abnormalities in thyroid function and no symptoms of goiter compression. In addition, it is important to have regular checkups to monitor changes in thyroid function during the preparation for pregnancy. It is also important to limit iodine intake in the daily diet. Patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are advised to complete the relevant examinations and consult a specialized doctor to choose whether to get pregnant or not under the doctor’s advice, in order to avoid adverse consequences.
