Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 29-year-old woman. I am trying to get pregnant, but I am a little concerned that I may not be ovulating. I checked for LH hormone surge last month, and I could not detect one using ovulation test kits. I have hypothyroidism, for which I am taking 75 mg Levothyroxine, and currently, my TSH levels are normal. I was wondering if I would take the over the counter supplement. I see good reviews from many users. Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The good news is that the TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) hormone is normal because the abnormal level can affect ovulation. I would recommend trying to conceive on the 12th to 16th day of your cycle. It is the period there is a high chance. Second, I would recommend detecting ovulation with ultrasound examination. And yes, you can use the supplement as it is suppose to induce fertility.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
