Well! Here I am again. I was told that fertility wouldn’t be influenced post-RAI. It has been for me. I had to take fertility drugs to have my first baby because, I think, I waited until my thyroid was completely dead before I even tried to become pregnant. I was very young when I had RAI.
Maybe RAI isn’t a component until the thyroid is completely dead. I don’t know. I do know that my infertility is considered thyroid related now. So, as I was told, go ahead and have RAI if you want to have children. I’m only telling you what my doctors so flippantly told me. But they don’t have to live with the anguish. It didn’t work for me but there are no studies to refute it. It’s my opinion that they aren’t looking.
Take care,
Julie
