Hello,
Sorry to learn about your bothersome symptoms.
First you should try to find out why the menstrual cycle is irregular.
It is because of not well controlled underactive thyroid or any other diagnosis ( like PCOS for eg.) that you didn't mention.
If the last TSH level has been within the normal ranges with 150 mcg levothyroxine, than it is not the cause of irregular menstrual cycle.
If this is the first time that the menstrual cycle is delayed than you have to see a physician to try to find the cause.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
