Hypothyroid and no ovulation?
| Wed, 07-19-2006 - 6:10pm |
Hi there,
I was recently diagnosed with "sub clinical" hypothyroidism. My TSH is at 5.1 and it was discovered when my ob/gyn ran bloodwork a few months ago to determine why I haven't been having a period (last cycle was first week of March)
Has anyone else had problems with ovulating and having no period? And more importantly has anyone been able to corect this problem by taking medicine? I'm on 25mcg of Synthroid right now (have been on it for about 6 weeks) and I go back next Thursday for a check up. I'm trying to get pregnant and hoping that someone hear can reassure me that this problem can be fixed...
Thanks all!
Steph

about hypothyroidism and ovulation, i have had some times over the past 5 months where my cycle will disappear for about 6 weeks and just recently i had my cycle for 4 weeks straight. in march of this year i was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. i had 4 large nodules on the right and and my right thyroid was the size of a lime. my doc did a right partial for my first surgery and then diagnosed the cancer the day after the surgery and then 3 days after thaqt i was back in the operating room getting a complete thyroidectomy. about a month after that i had to go into isolation and do the radiation treatment. now, i am on 150mcg of synthroid and still feeling horrible. my lvels are still all over the place, as are my weight, emotions, energy levels,sex drive,and menstrual cycle. i go back to see my doc on aug 4th and don't really know what to expect this time around.
sorry to unload on you , and i know i probably didn't answer your question.

Hi Steph,
I can't address your questions from my own experience but I have read from others here that it is possible to get back on track.
Hi Cathy,
Welcome to our board.
i feel like i can never know too much about all this!

Thanks Calley, I am hopeful that the right dosage of meds will get me back on track but it's so nerve wracking. Time is my best friend and my worst enemy I guess!! I did not go in for my labs before the appt but that's a great idea. At this point it's too late for my appt next week but I will keep that in mind for future appointments!
