both are caused by hormonal imbalance and we all know how important hormones are when we want to get pregnant. In hyperthyroidism there is too much hormones and the opposite is true with hypothyroidism.

Thyroid diseases can hamper conception but not all the time. Hypo can cause difficulties in ovulation. Hyper is more problematic than hypo as it can cause misscarriage. this is why thyroid problems should be checked before hand.
