issue regarding tsh level and the medicine prescribed

[neethu20]

Good afternoon
My  age is 22years , from the past 3months i was not getting my menstrual cycle so i went to the doctor she took 2 blood  tests (TSH,PRL) and 1 Pelvis scanning, the results came as TSH:5.90,PRL:16.70,scanning:enometrial thickness:6mm.

So after seeing the reports she suggested me some tablets to get periods (progynova 2mg,modus-10)within 20days. After seeing the TSH she suggested Thyronorm 25mcg to take for 2 months and then she said to take the same blood tests again.

My doubt is that the tablets which the doctor suggested are good and correct for my problem??

as i am taking both tablets for periods and for thyroid does it has any harmfull effect??
the health problem which i am facing now is it dangerous?? does it has any affects on pregnancy issues in future??  
The tablets Thyronorm 2mcg is the correct medicine for my problem??
i hope to get a reply from you as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I'm not familiar with Krimson 35, but a quick google search tells me that it's basically a birth control pill. For what I gather, you aren't supposed to get pregnant while on it, but once stopping it, you should be able to.  

I did see that there could be some side effects, including headache and nausea, as well as some others, but remember that not everyone gets the side effects.

Hi Barb135, i went to see my doctor on the 4th day of my periods and she suggested Krimson 35 to take for 3 months inorder to get regular periods. So now im taking Thyronorm 25 mcg morning and Krimson 35 evening, could you please give the information whether this Krimson 35 is good for me ?? does its has any harmfull side effects?? and does its has any effect on pregnancy in future??  

Thank you so much your advice its of great help to me

When asking for the T3 and T4 testing, make sure you specify FREE T3 and FREE T4, otherwise you will get total and that's not as useful.

Joint/muscle aches/pains are common symptoms of being hypo.

Thank you for the response..yes i am using  the above two tablets but now i have stopped taking progynova and i got periods also.

As you suggested i will surely ask my doctor about T3 and T4 thyroid tests. Thank you so much once again for the precious suggestions its of great help to me.

It looks like you are taking progynova 2 mg and Thyronorm 25 mcg?   Please confirm this.

progynova is most often used in women who have had a hysterectomy.  "Women who have not had a hysterectomy should also be prescribed a progestogen medicine to take with this medicine for the last 12 to 14 days of each 28-day pack."   Here's a link that gives some good information on it.

As to the Thyronorm, your TSH is higher than normal, so  most likely you have hypothyroidism, but TSH should not be used, alone, to determine thyroid status.  You need also to have free T3 and free T4 tests.  Those are the actual thyroid hormones.  Their levels will determine whether or not you are truly hypo.

Being hypo can affect the menstrual cycle, so you  may not really need the progynova, as your cycle could very well normalize once thyroid levels are stable.  Do you have any other symptoms of being hypo, such as fatigue, weight gain, muscle aches/pains?

After reading the link I posted above, you might want to talk to your doctor.  You should also ask to get the Free T3 and Free T4 thyroid tests done.  If your doctor refuses, you should think about finding another.
