Will High Levels Of Thyroid And Prolactin Effect Pregnancy?

Hi doctor....I am 29 and trying to conceive. My periods cycle has always been a bit irregular but it has never been more than 45 days....this time its almost 54 days and I am not getting my periods and also my pregnancy test was negative. My doctor prescribed me to take meprate to get the periods which I am taking rite now (today is 4th day of taking it). Also I would like to tell you that my thyroid level is also high and doctor told me prolactin level is also high. Please suggest what to do....whether the medicine which I am taking is fine. Is their any possibility that I could be pregnant.

Hi,

I guess your concern is about. Will you get pregnant with high level of thyroid and prolactin. My straight forward answer is YES, BUT CHANCES ARE LESS WITH THIS. Because if prolactin and thyroid hormone are high, they will cause irregular menses and patient having difficulty to get pregnant.

So it is very important to start treatment, so the hormones come to within normal range. Once they come to normal range, the menses will be regular. With regular menses there will high chances of getting pregnant. Secondly let us discuss about the medicine you have taken, as prescribed by your treating doctor.

You told that you are taking meperate. This drug is usually given for withdrawal bleeding (bleeding which occurs after delayed menses). This is usually given for 5 days, and withdrawal bleeding usually occurs within 10-15 days of stopping the drug. So DON'T WORRY, you are on right medication.

With the above discussion you can try out my suggestions:

1. RELAX, KEEP PATIENCE. Once your thyroid and prolactin come to the normal range, you get regular menses and chances of getting pregnant will increases.

2. For your high thyroid and prolactin level, visit to nearby medicine specialist. He/she can help you.

3. If you are still worried then visit to nearby infertility specialist. He /she can help you to getting pregnant.

I hope the above information is useful, informative and helpful for you. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudha Rani Panagar
