Hi, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
What is your recent TSH level? Being Hypothyroid is known to create problems in conceiving as it causes Hormonal imbalance and affects ovulation. Not to worry, as it is treatable and you will have to take thyroid medications regularly. This will make your TSH level normal and your periods regular. Have patience, stick to your treatment plan and go for regular follow up. To increase the chances of conception have unprotected sex between the 10th and 20th day of your cycle. Exercise regularly and try reducing your weight if you are overweight.
Good Luck.
