Breif answer:
1. No need of dietary modifications for thyroid disorder
2. No, it wont

Detailed answer:

Hi,

If you are from an iodine sufficient area no dietary modification is needed for thyroid disorder. If not an iodine rich diet with sea foods, iodised salts and milk is needed(avoid raw cabbage cauliflower and tapioca). If you are having hashimotos thyroid disease no diet modifications needed where ever you are. For that I would like to know about your thyroid antibodies value.

If you are planning for pregnancy, you should take a high fibre diet rich in vitamins, calcium

2. Cervical mucous usually will be adequate even though you feel otherwise. It is not a usual cause for infertility.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help

With warm regards,
