Could Infertility Be Due To Papillary Thyroid Cancer?

Hi. I am twenty five. I have been trying to conceive for almost a year now with no luck. I have just recently been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. They have removed the right side of my thyroid where the cancer was and I am returning for surgery again next week when they will remove the left side of my thyroid. They are then going to start me on 100mg of eltroxcin. I am wondering if my fertitilty issues had anything to do with having thyroid cancer or will my fertility chances improve once I am on eltoxcin?

Hello, get your surgery done and then get AMH levels tested which in case are good then nothing to worry but titrate thyroid hormone levels to proper dose and only then start fertility treatment
