Question: Hi,

I am 29 yrs old and TTC . I have PCOD and my TSH level is 3.58 , FH 3.08 and LH 15.6 on the 2nd day of my cycle. I was on T meprate to get my periods this month since I hadnt had it from last 3 months and from the 5th day of the cycle I am on Clomid 50mg.

i.e My periods started on July 3rd
I was on Clomid from 7th July to 11th July , So i assume my ovulation will start from 16th /17th July.

In the mean time since I dont get my periods on time I was also asked to take T Meprate from 15th day of the cycle , i.e. July 18th . But this will coincide with my ovulation cycle . So wil this have any contra effects? I.e Will starting T meprate have negative effects on the ovulation cycle / Clomid meds?

Also I have heard that a TSH above 2 is not a great indicator to get pregnant , is that true? If so should I work on getting my TSH between 1 and 2 and then start clomid from next cycle?

I am also doing power yoga to maintain my weight and Thyroid , will this affect my ovulation ?

Thanks for your response. How about the clarification for the below question?

1 .

Ok great , thanks for your prompt reply. One last question .

You said its not recommended to do power yoga during the ovulation cycle , but since I had a history of Hyperthyroidism with regular practise of Yoga and dynamic XXXXXXX namaskar it is under control with no need to take any medications . So I am worried that if I stop yoga my thyroid may reccur and I might also start gaining weight. What do you suggest? If I do light suryanamaskara (Not at a fast pace) and avoid abs excerises would that be sufficient?

Thanks so much for your expert advice, it was very relieving.

My plan right now is to try with T meprate and Clomid for 4 cycles and hoping to get pregnant within these cycles. If it doesnt work then I am planning for a laproscopic ovarian drilling in 5th month of trying .

Also another question I have is that me and my husband use a bit of lubricant during intercourse, will that affect the sperm quality or reduce chances of pregnancy?

When I test my ovulation cycle in Kit and its time , is it suffucient to have intercourse every 2 or 3 days?

I live in XXXXXXX and am currently visiting A V Hospital for advice .

Thanks a lot for your detailed answers Doctor. Since this is our first try for pregnancy I have a lot of question that keep popping . So Thank you for your patience in answering these .

Yes I know I dont have hypothyorid now , but I had a value of 8 in the past which is now controlled by regular yoga.

The doctor I visited said that my FSH is 6. -- so my LH should be half of FSH during the day 2 (When i got my tests done) . But because of PCOD my LH levels where very high (15.--) , so my doubt is will Clomid manage these levels? Because I understand that the ovulation kit works on the LH factor in urine , since my LH levels are already high is it possbile that the ovulation kit might not give accurate results and only a follicular scan is apt?

Please let me know your thoughts...

Alright ..Thanks a lot for your response . Have a nice evening.
