Abstract
Reproductive function is a vital process for continuation of life and requires an appropriate endocrine, molecular and
cellular organization. In every stage starting from maturation of ovarian follicle up to implantation of the embryo, a
convenient endocrine environment including normal thyroid hormone levels is of utmost importance. After the initial
revelation of the correlation between reproductive health and thyroid functions in numerous studies have emphasized
that both hyperthyroidism (OHT) and hypothyroidism (OH) are effective in female reproductive system, though
varyingly. Our aim in this review is to evaluate effects of hyper- and hypothyroidism on fertility and also discuss
relationship of infertility and assisted reproductive techniques (ART) regarding their effects over thyroid functions
and auto-immunity under the guidance of current information.
