hyperparathyroidism

i was recently diagnosed with hypercalcemia which then led to a diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. i have been hearing that thyroid disorders can cause infertility in women but no one has actually referred to the hyperparathyroid disorder that i have. i was wondering if the same fertility issues that apply to other thyroid disorders apply to hpt and how do hpt or other thyroid conditions affect fertility and miscarriage.

although i am unfamiliar with your disorder, i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when i was about 10. it's my understanding that as long as the disorder is controlled by medication, there should not be any problems with fertility. although i will have to be monitored during pregnancy and my dosage may have to be increased...
i did a quick search on the web and found these web sites with info on hyperparathyroidism that may help.
