Irregular periods
Hi
I am having irregular periods since menarche at 16.
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 19.
I had my periods every 3 months .
Normal flow
For 5 days
I am having thyroxine 25 mcg daily without fail and my TSH levels are under control.
STILL i am having irregular periods....and this time its nearly4 months now.
I had USG for PCOS 3 years back but it was normal.
What further investigations should i go through?
Is it possible if i take thyrox then also to have irregular periods because i thought if TSH is under control then it will be normal.

Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your irregular periods may be due to irregular ovulation. You don't seem to have Hypothyroidism. Diagnosis of PCOS is always a problem.
You should get your sonography done again. If it is normal then you may try ovulation studies from urine examination.
But at your age even if we find irregular ovulation, no one will try to induce ovulation especially since you are not married.
