Well in my knowledge antidepressant venlafaxine affects libido in some patients but does not causes infertility . Regarding infertility please consult a ganaecologist . Raised TSH and prolactin can be the cause which needs further evaluation as whether raised levels are  due to venlafaxine or some other cause which is causing infertility as well
Next Steps
consult a gynaecologist
