Does Hyperthyroidism Prevent Pregnancy?

Hi. I am 22 years old and have hypothyroidism. Earlier, i was detected with PCOD too but my latest ultrasounds reflect i am clear on all the cysts in my ovaries. But the problem is that i still do not get my periods regular, not even once. I take only thyroid medicine as suggested by my doctor but my periods are creating tension for me. Also, i get my PMS right in time but just the periods don t come in time, instead i get a white thick non smelly discharge. What can be the possible reasons? Will i have trouble getting pregnant too? Please help. Thank u.
