Hello

Thanks for contacting HCM.

You had thyroid issue when you were pregnant and stopped medication an year before.

Now you had been to Doctor for consultation of PCOS. Was it for Consultation for another pregnancy also. If you are planning for another child it is right to be with medicine and maintain your TSH level between 1.0 to 1.25 mIU/L.

If you don't have plan for pregnancy may be you can wait or take up TPO Antibody testing and in case turns to be High, you can start treatment under the personal guidance of Doctor on a lower strength and maintain TSH between 2.0 to 2.5 mIU/L.

If TPO Antibody is positive high titres and then probably you need to take medication life long

Hope this helps!!!
