My period is getting delayed this month with weight gain and increased TSH levels. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, you can take the Primolut N tablet as advised by your gynecologist. As your periods have gotten delayed by almost more than 45 days, it is unlikely that they would come naturally, even if it does, it may not be similar to your natural menstrual pattern, this is because this is an anovulatory cycle (meaning no ovulation must have occurred in this cycle). Usually, when periods come after such a delay, it could range from spotting to scanty flow to excess flow, or sometimes prolonged bleeding which may need hormonal medications to stop the bleeding. I would like to know if you face any acne or unwanted facial hair growth problems, if so, then you must be having PCOS (even if the USG is normal). And yes, you definitely need to start treatment for your hypothyroidism as your TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) level is high. Thyroid hormonal disturbance are quite common with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), and also it can disturb the menstrual pattern too. So, definitely you need to start your thyroxine replacement medications. DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone) is low, so there is nothing to worry about that. As you complained about weight gain over the recent few months, it would be advisable to reduce your weight, do regular exercises, and eat a proper healthy diet.

I hope this helps.
