Does Having Hashimoto's Disease Limit Chances of Getting Pregnant?

I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease a year and a half ago, and I've only had a total of about 4 periods since then. My boyfriend and I are usually careful with having safe sex, except once we didn't use a condom. I haven't had a period since March, and when we did not use a condom, he didn't climax inside of me, as far as I know of. But just in case, could I get pregnent? Or does not having a mestrual cycle limit me from doing so?

I also have hashimotos disease, as does my mother and aunt. None of us have ever experienced any missed periods. My cycle is like clockwork....even when I wasn't on the pill.

My mother had 2 children without any problems. My doctor has never mentioned any effect on my fertility due to my thyroid condition and I was diagnosed 17 years ago. I am now 31, but without children by choice.

If you are having irregular periods, it could affect your fertility. Are you taking synthroid or thyroxin? If not, that could have an effect on many of your systems. If you are, you may want to have another T4 to check that your dosage is correct.

You may want to see a gynecologist about your missed periods...not necessarily your endocronologist.

Best of luck!
