 hashi's hypothyroid, pcos and ttc
Hi,
This is my first time posting, and am glad I found this site. I was just recently diagnosed with Hashimotos thyroiditis, and my TSH level is now around 5.15. It was 7 about a month and a half ago. I also have pcos and suffered a miscarriage last year at 12 weeks. I would like to ttc again soon. I was just written a script for 80mcg of Levothyroxene. and have not begun taking it yet. I am meeting with a naturopath next week to find out other options.
Even though my TSH level is relatively low, I've been experiencing many of the symptoms this past year, expecially since my miscarriage--lethargy, bad concentration, forgetfulness, depression, etc. I'm normally pretty active. I'm also very thin, and have put on weight for the first time in my adult life this year (that's kind of a good thing for me). Things feel really 'off' though, and my quality of life has changed rapidly.
What are anyone's suggestions or experiences on being pcos and hashis hypothyroid? I'm not ovulating right now, and I definitely have prior to my pregnancy, and was wondering if the hypothyroidism could contribute to that too.
Thanks! |
