Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.

You had hypothyroidism and it was due to autoimmune thyroiditis.

Your TSH level is under control now.

You can safely conceive now. There is no harm in that.

You have to take thyroxine for long time. Check your T3, T4 , TSH at regular interval and set the dosage accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you very good health.
