New here and have some questions... Hello and I hope everyone is well! I’m new here and need some advice. Some background info on me: DH and I had been TTC for a year and brought it up to my family doc that I hadn’t conceived yet. He ordered an u/s on my ovaries and when it came back they called me and said I might have cysts on my ovaries. He then sent me to the OB/GYN. The day I went to the OB/GYN’s office he was playing golf or something so I saw his nurse practitioner who said yep you PCOS and wanted to put me on BCPs. This struck me as a little counterproductive so I went back to my family doc. (I have to get referrals for every stupid little thing for my insurance). He then sent me to an RE whom I have had a positive experience with so far. She didn’t think I had PCOS because I’m thin, don’t have facial hair, etc and somewhere along the line the u/s that the nurse practitioner look at got lost. They did blood work and my testosterone is just outside the normal range and discovered I’m hypothyroid. I started temping after they told me I had cysts to see if I was ovulating. In the 4 months prior to this month I have ovulated on my own between CD18-21. In my personal opinion I think I have a mild case of PCOS. I did have thinning hair and it actually got a lot straighter than it was, which is a symptom of hypothyroid (the thinning anyway). I’m not overweight, but I’ve gained about 15 lbs in the last couple of years, also hypothyroid. I have light acne, but nothing severe. My thyroid is now in check, but I haven’t lost any weight, I feel a lot more energy my testosterone and estrogen are still a little high. Would being hypothyroid have anything to do with my high testosterone even though it’s under control? |
