My 13yr old was diagnosed with hypothyroidism last year. she takes .75mg synthroid (thyroxine) everyday. i've heard she had a high probibility of being sterile.?

Not likely: There is no established correlation with use of thyroid replacements such as synthroid (thyroxine) and sterility. So no worries.
