I hear you! It's exactly what I was worrying about with the whole Graves thing. My endocrinologist recommended a thyroidectomy to me for the reasons you are worrying about. She explained that I had 3 options..... I could stay on medication for a few years to see if my Graves went into remission - but I could relapse; I could have the radioactive iodine but she couldn't guarantee safety for my eggs; or I could have the thyroidectomy and then once they get your levels right within a few months after surgery she said most people were fine to try and conceive. They just have to manage you more closely.
Good luck with everything; I can totally sympathise; I had two miscarriages before I had my little boy (I consider him my miracle baby considering I probably had Graves at the time - the surgeon who took my thyroid out reckons maybe for at least 5 years!)
When do you see your endocrinolgist?
