TTC. Diagnosed Polycystic Ovaries. Delayed Periods After Taking Eltroxin. Prescribed Ovacet. Will This Help?

Yesterday, my gynecologist did a base line scan and said that I have Poly cystic ovaries. My period was very regular [30 day dot] till April 2013 when I started my Eltroxin [25mcg] for Thyroid as my TSH was 8.9. After taking Eltroxin tab my period went on to 35-36 days in past 2 months. Unfortunately this month I have not got my period so went to the gyno who said I have PCO. she has given Ovacet for a month. Will that help doctor ? I want to conceive and have been trying completely from past 7 months. Please help.
Thank you in advance !

the medications given to you are myo-inositol+ folic acid +calcium has shown good pregnency results in PCOD (polycystic ovarian disease) patients. it has minimum side effects also go for some exercises too if you are fat and take thyroid medications regularly you may have the good news soon.

Hello,
You are already taking tab for hypothyroidism. For your TSH level the thyroxin dose may not be sufficient. Recently you have been diagnosed with PCO.
Insulin resistant inhibitors like tab metformin can be given for PCO.
You need complete thyroid and ovarian hormone analysis and hormonal treatment as per your need. First your cycle has to be regularized.
Do a USG abdomen and assess the PCO - unilateral/bilateral and extend of PCO.
PCO and Hypothyroidism are interlinked.
Take proper treatment - There are every chance for you to get pregnant
Only patience and proper treatment are important.
Best wishes
