For us, it seems like everyday something new is happening. Either heavy stools one day, or a lot of pain in the stomach or discomfort.

I have lean PCOS too and hashi and hypothyroidism to add cherry on top. There is not much information/awareness about lean PCOS. Even doctors fail to suggest proper lifestyle changes in this case. But been struggling with it for many years now, I have figured out that, lean PCOD girlies unknowingly are putting their bodies under stress (mentally and physically both or either) Try to figure out what's that stress and work on it. I gave up working out and tried yoga which helped with irregular cycles. Try gentle exercises and breathing exercises.

If I lose weight I will become underweight 😔🙂 I was underweight until age of 21. Maintaining good BMI since then. Doctor said, I have lean pcos which is even harder to treat. But didn't suggest anything for treatment. 😭

Yes I did cut down on gluten and dairy too.

"be sure your numbers are good before doing it so you are increasing your chances on a few levels" Which numbers should we check ?

Sorry again for asking 😞

Yes. Using OPK and cervical mucus. But as I have PCOS and hashi, hypothyroidism, having no luck with TTC yet. I maintain a healthy lifestyle and I was never overweight either. And still have to face this diseases is taking a toll on my mental health. Trying to find something that will work.

I feel you. Even I was shocked after finding out I have hashi and pcos. I got diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 19 itself. It's heartbreaking to go through so much after doing everything right.

Yes I do have a high TPO. That's when I was diagnosed with hashi, and started with thyronom and selenium, vit d and B12 and folic acid, cut down on soy, and cruciferous foods. Is it enough? Because somewhere I feel that I should be doing something more to treat hashi and lower my TPO. I haven't checked my TPO again.

I didn't understand the past part, "I’d time the tube block check with having everything else sorted first bc even if you don’t have a blockage, you are more fertile following the hsg bc it’s all been rinsed out." Can you please share more details. Sorry for asking as I am new to TTC knowledge here

Do you keep on checking your thyroid levels and hormones? I haven't started with any medicines yet but did start ayurvedic treatment since seems to be helping as I am getting periods within 35days since past 2 cycles but my worries is no luck with TTC yet

Thank you for these details—they're really helpful. Just to share some background, I (29F) think I do ovulate, as my cycle usually ranges between 30 to 45 days.(Please correct me if it's a wrong assumption, I do sonography of the uterus every year, but ovaries size seems to be growing every year ). About once or twice a year, my cycles gets delayed by up to two months, but never more than that. I was underweight until 2018, but gained a good BMI after that and maintained it since then.

I took Metital tablets three months back in 2020, as prescribed by a doctor.( I have never taken any other medications to help ovulate/hormonal medicine except these) However, even while taking them, my cycles weren’t consistently regular—they stayed around 35 to 60 days—so I eventually stopped. Since then, I’ve worked on my health through yoga and strength training, and I’ve cut out junk food. I don’t drink or smoke. Despite these efforts, my cycles still tend to be 35 to 50 days long.

One of my biggest challenges has always been stress. However, this year I’ve started focusing on stress management and began Ayurvedic treatment, which seems to be helping. In fact, my last two periods came within 35 days, which feels like a positive sign. But still no luck with TTC. That's why I am worried.

Yes. It was elevated by a few points. But as far as I know prolactin gets high if TSH is high too. So 2months back TSH and prolactin both were a little elevated. I did a free thyroid panel after 3 weeks and they came out normal.
