The difference in mean serum TSH was statistically significant (P<0.001HS). Significant difference in serum TSH level between SH and TAI and between SH and ET group in both early and very early pregnancy loss group. Given these results, it could be useful to perform a preconceptional or an early screening for thyroid disorders, to evaluate the need for hormonal supplementation.
