Radio active iodine

Hi! My thyroid was already removed last 2015 and i already took radio active iodine treatment. They have given me a 103 mci oral therapeutic dose of I-131 (dont know the meaning of this medical term but it was indiacated on my medical result). Aftr a year i took htg and anti-htg to monitor my condition and my doctor observed that i still have thyroid tissue and i still have to take another dose of RAI treatment. I have read some forums regarding this but my concern is, would this another dose of RAI will effect my fertility considering i am male? My doctor said i have to take treatment this year, and by next year im getting merried. I am worried for my future babies. Your reply would be highly appreciated.
