Hi,
Thanks for the query.
You have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and put on medication Thyronorm 50mcg.
Thyronorm can cause adverse reactions like irregular periods. But you need to take them for a certain period to make it regular.
Sometimes thyroid disorders like Hypothyroidism can also cause irregular or skipped periods which can cause some difficulties in conceiving. In addition they can also raise the risk of miscarriage, high blood pressure, anemia and low birth weight. They may also have long-term effects on the baby. So it is better to get your Thyroid levels under control before planning for pregnancy.
Irregular periods might be present till your levels come back to normal. So do not worry.
If your periods are delayed further, you will need to get examined by a Gynecologist to rule out other causes of delayed periods.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for follow up queries.
Wish you good health.
Regards

let me know if any tests i have to go? usually how much time it takes for Thyroid levels to be normal?
and also let me know the precautions i have to take care to get normal thyroid level?
Hi,
Thanks for the follow up.
Since it is already 36 days, you have not got your periods, it is better to get examined by Gynecologist and take suggested medication.
It takes around 6 months to 1 year for your levels to be back to normal. However it may vary from patient to patient.
You need not undergo any test since you are already taking the right medication for this.
The diet for hypothyroid should not include raw foods such as cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, XXXXXXX spinach, peaches, pears, strawberries, radishes ,potatoes , corn and millet.
You should eat more of natural foods, whole grains, lots of fruits and vegetables (other than the ones suggested above) and a good supply of seafood and other lean meat protein.
