Hypothyroidism, Menstrual Problems and Pregnancy?



I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about a year and a half ago and since then I have been very irregular about having my period. My OBGYN has put me on provera to take once every three months to make it come. I am really concerned that this will effect my chances of pregnancy. My Obgyn mentioned putting me on Clomid in November. Has anyone with a thyroid problem been put on this and been successful at being able to conceive with a healthy pregnancy? Any help or simmilar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

I have just a slight case of hypothyroidism and my doc put me on Levothyroxine to adjust that level. My fertility doc put me on Metformin to help regulate my periods. I have PCOS and they would come a couple times a year. But since being on both of them, it is about every 35-38 days when AF shows.

I'm not really familiar with Provera nor hypoth, but I would ASK your doc if they think this may help. Also, if you are overweight, which I am........then even losing 10 lbs will affect your period more than you know. it all has to deal with insulin resistance and releasing eggs.

As far as chlomid, they can prob get you to ovulate using it. But it may also produce multiples so I'd still ask first about Metformin and see if that works.

Good luck Source(s): TTC 2 yrs.
