Conclusions

.The prevalence of undiagnosed overt thyroid T was low in asymptomatic women with a history of miscarriage or infertility. The prevalence of SCH was higher, with increased risks seen particularly in those with higher BMI or Asian ethnicity. Using a TSH with an upper limit set at 2.5 mIU/L may identify a significant proportion of women with a history of miscarriage or infertility who will require treatment.
