Next steps?

Thank you in advance. Four months ago I was diagnosed (after 3 early losses) as mildly hypothyroid and so started medication, which brought levels to optimal.

Before that my cycles were like clockwork, 27 days (I chart so have a good understanding of what’s going on). Since the thyroid medication my cycles have been too short, ovulating on day 9 sometimes! I just turned 40 and have a low-ish AMH but had no indications of peri.

Could the thyroid medication be unsettling my ovulation? Would DHEA help? I’m unsure as to next steps.

I take Procieve-Max, Q10 and Vitex.

Hi Aloha. As you will know thyroxine is a hormone and needs to settle in with others, if you get what I mean? It may take a few months for your thyroid to settle back to what will be normal for you, and in doing so may lengthen your cycle just a little. hope all is soon well. Diane

Thank you for this! I’m being tested on Thursday after 6 weeks on NaturThroid (was on Levo before that for two months) so I’ll raise it then.
