Hypo-(low) thyroid: is COMPLETELY TREATABLE with Thyroid replacement therapy and should not ever have ANY effect on lifespan, fertility or for that matter general health! Just get it treated properly!!!
Hope this helps! Good Luck !

It is correctable: with medication and by correcting it with medication any fertility problems due to low thyroid will resolve.
