You can plan for pregnancy.but it's better to give a gap of atleast another 6months . Try to have intercourse in the fertile period.ie between 10 _20 days if your cycles are regular. You have not mentioned if you are on Thyroxin tab or not .
Next Steps
get the thyroid test once in 3 months.as can have gestational hypothyroidism .(if the report is normal with out drugs.). get your Hb,HbA,C or FBS-PPBS.
Health Tips
start taking folic acid tablet.in the preconceptional period itself .
