Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting me with your health concerns
Your thyroid has normalised after medicine but to keep it normal you need to take it continuously ahead also
PCOD can create problems in conception and Pre as well so you should keep a check on your weight and opt a healthy lifestyle along with regular dieting and exercise
In general indulge in regular intercourse in your mid cycle and start taking folic acid tablets daily prior to conception for best results
All the best
