### Human:\nhypothyroidism. will taking synthroid affect my fertility since it causes irregular menstrual patterns?\n\n### Assistant: i suppose it could affect your fertility if it caused irregular menstrual patterns but it could also help - it regularized me a bit actually. generally being healthier will probably help your fertility and hypothyroidism can mess you up quite a bit. if you respond badly to synthroid you might want to try nature throid or armour thyroid because they are more complete hormone replacements.
