Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As far as TSH is under 2.5 mIU/ml, the thyroid is not an obstacle for IVF or conceiving.
The high antibodies mean that you need to keep monitoring TSH every 6 months as there will be a tendency in the future for hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
