I recently had radioactive iodine for graves disease. I want another baby (i have a 4 yr. Old) but I just turned 40. I wonder if I am infertile now or do I have a chance of conceiving, and is there anything I can do to improve my odds?

I am going to undergo radiation treatment for my graves disease and often wonder the same thing about conceiving children. I have been told that there should be no problems but I wanted to talk to somebody with some experience...

Pregnancy After Rai
I had rai at age 19, and I am now 27. I was told that the rai should have little or no effect on my fertility, however, I hve not yet tried to start a family, so I do not know if what they told me is true (:

best of luck to both of you trying to conceive!
