With most thyroid disease, as long as your thyroid meds are properly adjusted, there's no reason that you can't have kids.
However, I have some questions. You said that your had radiation, which I assume was RAI (radioactive iodine) to "kill" your thyroid, is that correct? Before RAI, were you hyperthyroid (overactive)? Have you been on thyroid hormone replacement since 2010?
How do you feel now?
