How To Conceive Despite Having Hypothyroidism And PCOS?
Hi,
I am 29 years old. I have hypothyroid and PCOS. We have been trying for 2 years to concieve, but with no luck. Last Nov 2009, I was diagnosed with hypothyroid and PCOS. I am on metaformin. I took clomid 50mg for 2 months, but no use and hence discontinued. I am on Metaformin since Feb 2010.
Can you please advise if this medictation is sufficient or should I continue with clomid ? How long does it take for me to concieve ?
Please suggest

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If possible weight reduction. Get serum TSH and serum prolactin done. Then on d2 of the cycle start taking clomiphene with gonadotropins as prescribed by a gynecologist. Then go for follicular study till rupture and then keep relationship around ovulation/rupture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sheetal Agarwal
