Get healthy: First step is to optimize your thyroid disease. Your medication should be stabilized and then your doctor should tell you your TSH is normal and safe for pregnancy. Polycystic ovarian syndrome can often cause a lack of ovulation. This would be an important thing to discuss with your obgyn after your thyroid is cleared.

Small steps: Get your hyperthyroid first under control. You can use metformin which will help decrease Insulin resistance ( a problem with pcos) which has been shown to help with ovulation. See a nutritionist who can help you gain weight in a healthy way since pcos women can gain and not lose in the long run.
