Yep. Since you've been trying for a year, it's time to consult with your gynecologist about your delay in getting pregnant. Among other things, your thyroid hormones should be tested by doing a blood test; that's part of the normal workup for fertility problems. Thyroid underfunction is an easy-to-fix fertility problem. Good luck!
