HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The use of radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism (increased thyroid hormones) can cause hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormones).
Thyroid disease can cause problems with conception.If this is the cause , it may be improved if your levels are optimised.
To determine the cause of your fertility issues, you and your partner should consider undergoing testing.
This would involve a semen analysis for you.
I hope this helps
