See your doctor : Hypothyroidism can decrease fertility. If you optimize your thyroid function and treat any underlying causes of the hypothyroidism, you have a great chance of having children.

Absolutely!: Hi. Yes, as long as you treat it and get your thyroid function to normal on therapy, it will have no impairment on your fertility. To your long, healthy life!
