Also bella88 unless someone is having trouble conceiving or has known hyper/hypo thyroidism, there is no indication to check thyroid hormone levels before getting pregnant.

I have heard from ob/gyn that it’s important to check thyroid if you have a family history of hypothyroidism if you are planning on conceiving. sometimes symptoms of hypothyroidism are not obvious. and even if you do not check it before pregnancy, once pregnancy is confirmed, most doctors do order thyroid function tests, regardless of family history.
