This is a YouTube video titled "T3 & Fertility: Get Pregnant & Stay Pregnant! #shorts" created in August 2025. The content features a single speaker discussing the role of the thyroid hormone T3 in fertility, pregnancy, and hormone optimization, addressing common concerns about T3 use during pregnancy and sharing clinical insights on improving pregnancy outcomes.
Let's talk about T3. I get this question all the time. Can I take T3 when I'm pregnant? Can I take T3 now if I know I want to get pregnant in the future? So let's talk about T3 and fertility. T3 plays a crucial role in egg quality, ovulation and cycle regulation. Without sufficient T3, egg maturation, luteal phase function and implantation success might be compromised. So I always say this. T3 helps you get pregnant and, and stay pregnant. Now medicine in general says, oh my God, do not, do not use T3 in pregnant women. The baby won't have access to an FT4 and the T3 doesn't cross the placental barrier. Guess what, guys? Two things can happen at once. People can have an FT3 and they can also have an FT4. You know how I know? Actually freaking check it, right? Like if you're trying to infer all of these data points all from a tsh, I can see how clinicians would be anxious. There's a really simple solution and it's just to check to TSH free T4 to ensure the baby has access to it, free T3, reverse T3 and antibodies. So let's just do it. I have successfully taken women with infertility a history, literally one of them had nine miscarriages and took her through successful pregnancy by optimizing thyroid and hormones to an extent too right?
