Of course, I always do worse case scenario. Do any of you know about fertility after a thyroidectomy (partial/whole) or thyroid cancer? Is it harder to get pg? Do doctors tell you to not try?

I think that as long as your levels are okay, you should be able to get pregnant as long as everything else is okay too.
