Women of all ages have thyroid conditions and are able to become pregnant (if they have not reached menopause, of course).

Women of all ages also have irregular periods (anywhere between 21 to 35 day cycles!), and they are also able to become pregnant.

I have read that the most recent research says that there really is not such a thing as "too much" sex when trying to conceive. Every-other day is actually ideal, and that allows the male plenty of time to "revamp" his sperm supply and sperm quality. Most couples are too busy (and tired!) to have sex daily at any rate, so having sex as often as you are able to (and enjoy) will help you conceive faster...regardless if your cycles are now slightly irregular.

In other words: frequent, unprotected sex (regardless of the timing of your cycle) will create the best chances of conception, and take away your concern of irregular cycles. It won't be a factor, and then it is one less thing to worry about.
