Strumazol is Methimazole (MMI) and Doctors never recommend Radioactive Iodine if you want to fall pregnant.
Usually they will prescribe PTU as it sint as strong as Methimazole.
Maybe others can comment on this as I dont have the expertise to answer about pregnancy and PTU but do know that RAI is not recommended if you want pregnancy to occur within the next 6 months.
