Just a comment in addition to what Bobbi said. Some people take even LONGER than 6-12 months following RAI for replacement hormone to be regulated. In these cases it probably wouldn’t be advisable to become pregnant until the patient attained a stable dose and had some time for her body to heal. In my case, this process took four years. For this reason, thyroidectomy is another option to consider for women who want to avoid the risk of waiting to start a family.
