Abstract in brief

Women with unexplained infertility (UI) tend to have higher TSH levels within the normal range compared to women with normal fertility, even after accounting for factors like age, BMI, and smoking.
Nearly twice as many women with UI had TSH levels at or above 2.5 mIU/L compared to women without UI, suggesting a potential link between higher-normal TSH and infertility.
Prolactin levels showed no significant difference between women with UI and those with normal fertility, indicating TSH might be more relevant to UI in this context.
