Is Femilon Safe To Regulate Periods?

I'm 22 years and married for an year. We have planned to have a baby for past 4 months and suddenly my periods are irrugular. When I took a blood test, my TSH level was 4.5. But my doctor gave me femilon to regularise it. Is it safe to start the dose?

Hello,
If your TSH levels are on the higher side, it is also ideal to go for the estimation of free T3 and free T4 levels. You may need to start low doses of hormone thyroxine as subclinical hypothyroidism may manifest in this way. Femilon can be used once other hormone imbalances are corrected to keep the cycles back on track. This medication inhibits ovulation and hence, after a few cycles of pill usage, you may stop once periods get regular and wait for a couple of cycles for ovulation to resume. Meanwhile, maintain a healthy weight, balanced diet and regular exercise. Hope this helps.
