Hello,
I think please continue the medicines you are taking for few more months with dosage adjustment if necessary after consulting your doctor.It takes time, SO HAVE PATIENCE. I suppose your endocrinologist must have evaluated you well . so don't worry and have patience. If you have not consulted an Endocrinologist it is worthwhile to take his opinion also. They are trained in treating such disorders.
As far PCOD is concerned, please reduce weight if you are obese . You can do a fasting plasma insulin and can take myoinositol.Currently don't plan a pregnancy till your thyroid profile is normal since there are chances of infertility, pregnancy loss and fetal problems. In the mean time you can take low dose pills containing cyproterone that will help in regularising your cycle disturbance if any and also help reduce your pimples.
I hope i have answered your query.
