    The good news is that thyroid replacement is excellent. If you have no other hormonal conditions then I dont see there should be a problem. Unfortunately some couples have trouble conceiving, but I dont see that you would have any more or less chance of getting pregnant than someone else. During pregnancy your thyroid replacement will need to be watched and adjusted.
