Before starting IVF, thyroxine level should be adjusted to normal range to ensure egg quality and embryonic development.

Patients with hypothyroidism need to pay attention to their own pregnancy risks after IVF. Hypothyroidism may lead to unstable menstrual cycle and increase the risk of early abortion and adverse pregnancy outcomes. In addition, hypothyroidism may also affect the neural and intellectual development of the fetus. Therefore, patients with hypothyroidism should consult a professional doctor before IVF, assess the pregnancy risk and make corresponding treatment adjustments.

Thyroxine replacement therapy is a routine treatment for patients with hypothyroidism, but some drugs may have adverse effects on embryos. Before IVF, hypothyroid patients should consult a professional doctor to assess the safety of the medication scheme.
In the course of drug use, hypothyroidism patients should follow the doctor's instructions and follow the time, dose and frequency of medication. If other drugs are used at the same time, the doctor should be consulted to confirm whether they will affect IVF.
4. Professional medical team
Patients with hypothyroidism should choose an experienced and professional medical team when carrying out IVF. The professional medical team can comprehensively assess the physical condition and pregnancy risk of hypothyroidism patients, develop personalized treatment plans, and timely adjust monitoring and treatment strategies.
