Hi There :)

I had my thyroid removed a few years ago. If your thyroid levels are off at all, it can make you infertile. Usually this is one of the first things they check (that is my doc told me anyway). If your thyroid is off one way or the other, they can give you medication to help regulate it. It takes a while for the meds to work (6-8 weeks).

HTH!
