Can I get pregnant with hypothyroidism and irregular periods?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) are known to prevent ovulation, the monthly process in which an egg is released to be fertilized. If no egg is released, you can't get pregnant, even if you're having regular menstrual periods.

Consult your doctor to confirm your eligibility for blood donation. 2. Contact a local blood bank or donation center to discuss your specific situation and schedule a donation appointment.
