Answers:
have them test your fertility now to make sure the thyroid disease hasn't done any permanent damage to it since it had been untreated until now. if you are clear of problems now, the only thing you have to worry about is maintenance. take your medicine every day and get your thyroid hormone levels tested regularly. if you start feeling a little off, go get some blood work done... regardless of when your next testing should be. you will get better at recognizing when your levels are not normal.

if you can keep your thyroid hormone at a normal level, you should have as good a chance as anyone to have kids whenever you want. just keep your health up and be proactive about it now that you know you have hypothyroidism... that's the best way to ensure that you will be able to get pregnant later.

after getting pregnant, hypothyroidism will make things a little more complicated, but it's still do-able.Health Question & Answer

BTW before thyroid medication was available, people without thyroids (due to surgery for goiter) were able to live for an average of 15 yrs. But yes eventually they died.

Hypothyroidism is completely reversible in the majority of cases and the associated infertility is also reversible. It you treat it correctly, you will be able to have children.Health Question & Answer
