Thyroid & Autoimmune Disorders and Fertility – Risks, Treatments, and Surrogacy Options

Thyroid & Autoimmune Conditions – Their Impact on Fertility and Pregnancy

Thyroid and autoimmune disorders are among the most overlooked causes of infertility and miscarriage. Conditions like hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease can interfere with hormone balance, ovulation, implantation, and pregnancy health.

At Surrogacy4All, we help patients identify these issues through testing, provide physician-guided treatments, and, when necessary, recommend surrogacy as the safest pathway to parenthood for high-risk cases.

Thyroid Disorders and Fertility

The thyroid regulates metabolism and reproductive hormones. Both overactive (hyperthyroidism) and underactive (hypothyroidism) thyroid can cause:

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition, is one of the leading causes of hypothyroidism in women of reproductive age.

Autoimmune Conditions and Reproductive Health

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. Examples include:

These conditions may trigger immune responses that attack embryos or disrupt implantation.

Testing & Diagnosis

Key fertility-related tests include:

Treatment Options

Close monitoring by fertility specialists and immunologists is essential. 

Case Study – Overcoming Hashimoto’s to Conceive

Anika, 34, had recurrent miscarriages. Testing revealed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. With levothyroxine and careful cycle monitoring, she conceived naturally and delivered a healthy baby. Her case shows the importance of early thyroid testing.

Case Study – Recurrent Miscarriages from Autoimmune Causes

Laura, 37, had four miscarriages. She was diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome. Despite treatment, she remained high-risk. Surrogacy through Surrogacy4All allowed her to have a healthy baby, carried by a carefully screened surrogate. Today, she says: ‘Surrogacy gave me peace of mind and a family.’ 

Why Surrogacy May Be the Safest Option

For some patients with severe autoimmune or thyroid complications, pregnancy itself may be dangerous. Surrogacy allows these parents to have a biological child without risking maternal or fetal health. Surrogacy4All ensures:
