Regarding your thyroid illness if you are planning for pregnancy, your TSH values should be below 2.5 miu/l. You may have to increase the dose of thyroxine during pregnancy.
Regarding pregnancy if her menstrual cycles are normal and the fibroids are not preventing pregnancy male factor should be evaluated. Usual initial tests needed is a semen analysis. If it is abnormal consult an endocrinologist or reproductive specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
