Hi - I'm 32 Years Old, My Husband And I

Hi - I'm 32 years old, my husband and I are trying to start a family. I was on BP for about 4 years, and in January I stopped, however with the exception of one time, my periods weren't coming.

I went to the doctor in June and she put me on Provera, and did some additional blood work. A few days later, results came back saying my TSH was very high, and I had an "extreme" case of hypothyroidism. However, because of the Provera, my period did come (no pregnancy after that period). For the last six weeks I've been taking levothyroxine, and now my TSH has lowered to a normal range.

My last period was due to the Provera, I'm really curious if I should just keep waiting for my next period, or if I should try again with Provera. Not sure when I can expect it. Based on my blood work six weeks ago, I was told everything came out normal, just the TSH was high, but now that's controlled - I'm desperate to get my period, so I can hopefully ovulate and try to conceive..
