No. Graves disease can cause temporary infertility but women who have been treated for Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis can become pregnant since normal fertility is restored after treatment. It is recommended that Graves' disease be treated with surgery or radioactive iodine before becoming pregnant because antithyroid medication can cross the placenta and cause thyroid problems for the baby. However it is recommended to wait six months after radioactive iodine treatment before becoming pregnant.
