I had untreated hashimoto's at the time of my pregnancy.  My hormone levels were wacky the first few weeks of my pregnancy and the docs were concerned, but they somehow leveled out.  I ended up on bed rest for 4 months due to pregnancy induced hypertension and extreme edema.  My son was born a month early, but perfectly fine and healthy (8lb 3oz).  You can get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy, I would just wait until they get your hormones and thyroid levels straightened out.  Mine was untreated (they missed that I had it) which is why I had the issues I did.  Good Luck.
