My name is Diana. I am 33 years old, recently engaged. My fiancée and I want to have a baby. We are trying TTC for the last year and a half. Since we started, nothing. Four months ago I found out that I have a cyst in my right ovary. My doctor prescribed me to take contraceptive pills to get rid of the cyst. I hope it will help. Oh, I forgot to mention, 2 years ago I had my thyroid removed. It was not benign, so the doctors recommended removing it. When the operation was done, I got the information that conceiving a baby could be a little more difficult now. I am on eutirox pills for the rest of my life now, for the hormone regulation. I want to ask anyone here, if someone went through the same or similar situation? Is it really hard to conceive the baby? Thanks to all for taking the time to read my post!!

Have you and your fiancé had fertility tests? I'm not sure about not having a thyroid at all but a lot of women are on thyroxine and it seems to not cause problems.

Apparently eutirox is a brand name for levothyroxine, but it isn't prescribed in the UK?

With normal TSH levels due to taking thyroxine, you shouldn't really see 'additional' issues conceiving except your levels will need to be carefully monitored through your pregnancy.
