What Does Shrinking Of Follicle Size While On Synthroid Indicate?

default
Posted on Thu, 10 Dec 2015
Question: My follicle on CD10 was 13mm and on CD12. I am not using meds except for thyroid. I changed my diet to more veggies and iron because of extremely low haemoglobin count (8) 2 cycles about. I have been cycle monitoring and had a mc one year ago at 10 weeks with no heartbeat. On CD 12 my follicle shrank to 12mm from 13mm on CD10. I have a follow up U/S on CD15. I only changed my diet etc on CD1. I usually have heavy periods in recent years with clotting on day 3 or 4. Why would my follicle shrink? My lining increased 10 13.3. Previous cylcles prior to making dietery changes my dominant follice was 17mm and 18mm. Is my cycle changing because of the molasses, acv and honey. I use manuk and royal jelly. I need reassuring answers. Up to this point I always ovulate (CD14-15) and have had a pretty regular cycle 28-30 days. I am taking Synthroid 25mcg/Levothyroxine 25mcg.

Brief Answer:
Not related to diet

Detailed Answer:
HI,

I understand your concerns about reduced follicle size.

This reduction of follicle size is not related to diet or thyroxine.

This is related to reduced gonadotropins hormone in the body.

Please ask your doctor to give you gonadotropins injections to help the follicles grow.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
