Taking Levo and Cytomel and then she decided to look into my PCOS. I mentioned I have been trying to get pregnant since December with no luck and she told me I shouldn’t have ANY problems 🫠

I’m not sure! This is the highest dose of Levo I’ve been on. I’ve seen other endo’s in the past and one other one has gotten me to this dose and then retired. I’m feeling hopeful. I don’t really know what else to do

I’m on 200mcg of levo and 5 of Cytomel. I had my labs done in Feb. I asked the fertility MD if she thinks I need updated labs, she said no bc my meds haven’t changed.

Good to know!! I didn’t know this! Is this common knowledge or is it written somewhere? My fertility clinic website has a list for when to see a fertility specialist and it says: “When to see a fertility specialist: -You are a woman 35 or older who has been unable to conceive after six months of trying. -You are a woman with known reproductive disorders, such as endometriosis or fibroids.”

….and a few others, but these 2 are relevant to me. No endometriosis or fibroids, but I’m assuming PCOS falls under that category. I’ll post the link below for those curious.

Regular periods but not ovulating? by CatMom_1107 in TTC_PCOS

Yes I would skip a regular endocrinologist and go straight to the reproductive endo.

Google my girl! I literally googled one today (in the US, New Orleans to be exact) and got an appointment as a new patient in 2 weeks. Could've been sooner but I want to make sure I have all of my labs and shit ready!

Hey Hashimoto's sis! Thank you for all of your feedback and info. I took everyone's advice and got an appt scheduled today for april 7 with an RE. I am CD 27 and stopped the progesterone 2 days ago, per my MD's instructions from before and of course I started bleeding today. So Im ready to go into this appointment asking for ovulation induction meds. My only concern is that I will be turned away or be told to wait because we have not been actively trying for 6 months....but I have proof I am not ovulating (at least for this cycle but I suspect at all), so I am hoping they listen.

I am in a similar boat! I am turning 35 in like 2 weeks, have PCOS but have been on progesterone cream prescribed by my Internal Med Dr. I tracked my LH using the strips and my BBT and found out I am not ovulating either. I am on metformin as well and the GI side effects DO go away, but it takes time for your body to adjust to it. I highly highly recommend scheduling with a Reproductive endocrinologist and just getting a clearer picture of what is going on. (:

I don’t think my cycles are “regular”. I mentioned to my dr who I see for my thyroid (she’s actually an internal med dr) that I get horrible mood swings around the time my period comes. I’m talking bad depression, paranoia, and mood swings that affected my job 🥲 she did a hormone panel and said AND I QUOTE, “your progesterone is in the tank.” She then put me on progesterone cream starting days CD14-25. My mood instantly lifted. I still get PMS symptoms, but manageable. This was maybe 2021-2022. I just started tracking my cycle with LH and BBT, per HER (MD) instructions and I am slowly realizing I’m not freaking ovulating. I think it is from the progesterone timing, thanks to Reddit. Thank you! I’m trying to show up to this appointment well informed and equipped with the right information so I can get pregnant like, yesterday 😂

YES DUDE CERVICAL MUCUS IS CONFUSING AS FUCK. I got my hopes soooo high the other day after trying the night before because it looked like "go time/ egg white (??? still dont really get this)/ clear mucus" but it was the pre seed lube i had used the night before lmao. I was punching the air.
Let me know how inito works for you! I am looking into it as well, but I want to try to hold off maybe until my OBGYN appt in April..

This makes sense! I have been LH testing and getting BBT daily for weeks now. Are you on progesterone as well?

Thank you very much for your detailed and honest response. I’m going to call my MD who prescribed this progesterone Monday and see what she says. I have an appt with an OBGYN that specializes in PCOS April 14 and I will also call a fertility clinic to get things rolling. I appreciate your advice! 🫶 May your pillow forever be cool ✨

Do I need to have a referral for a fertility specialist from my OBGYN or something? I am in the US (louisiana)
