Hi, I think you should continue taking thyroxine. First get a thyroid profile done. Also as your periods are irregular, do a prolactin level and a ultrasound for your uterus and ovaries. You may need some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles and track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound. When follicles reach a size more than 17 to 18 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for 2 to 3 days after injection. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. Hope I have answered your question.
