I would go to a clinic and have a serum HCG done, If the level is more than 5, you're probably pregnant and just aren't at a high enough level of HCG to be detected by a urine test. If not, then keep trying until you have your period.
Why are you "off and on" synthroid? Are you hypothyroid or are you using it to lose weight?
I'm not real familiar with HCG, however, I know it's used for rapid weight loss, along with a very strict 500 calorie/day diet. You might try asking your question about it on the Weight Loss Alternatives forum, as I know there are a lot of people there who do/have used it.
im still tired, breast are still big and sore nipples,inc i wonder if my hcg is low since im taking synthroid for my thyroid. and that is being controlled well. guess we will have to do the waiting game again :/ anyone else have this problem to or has happen to u? my period was may 18th last. and im 5 days late now.
I was born without my thyroid, and have been on Synthroid all my life. My pediatrician told my mother that I would not have any children. I had my first child at 21, my second at 26, both carried to term. I am now 31 and have had two consecutive miscarriages in four months. When I began menstruating I was very regular, every 28 days, and many cycles down to the hour. After my first child my cycles were shorter-24 days. Ovulating at about day 10 every cycle.
I am on Armour and I am one of the ones who didn't benefit from Synthroid - you are very lucky your found Synthroid to work best for you - it is the thyroid drug of choice and many doctors will not continue Armour if you need to change to someone else.
Go back to what works - and the question is still ot there - Why did you try it if Synthroid was working?
I am 28 yo female, I had my thyroid removed 10 years ago due to non cancerous nodules growing on it. I've been on synthroid since I was 11 yo. Everything was fine until I went off birth control pills. All of a sudden I had a hard time tolerating my 137 mcg dose of synthroid. I switched to armour thyroid, but couldn't tolerate any more than 60 mg. I felt great on just 60 mg, however my TSH shot up from 1 to almost 8.
I had this cough since 1989 when I started on synthroid and can't figure it out. I was wondering if it could be the synthroid. I just typed this site in and I am surprised and now do believe it can be the synthroid. No one can figure out the cough. Did anyone ever figure it out if the cough is from the synthroid???
I did email them about the bleeding and they said it could be Synthroid and told me to take a 1/2 dose, which I have, but nothing has changed.
I really don't think it's Synthroid as everything I have read says that it takes a while for Synthroid to start "helping" and it takes a few months for it to affect your menstrual cycle, so I really wouldn't suspect it to make any difference less than a week after starting it.
Anybody has any ideas?
Thanks.
About 2 months ago I started having rapid heartbeat and general fatigue when active. I went to Dr and tsh was .01 and free t4 1.77. A week later tsh was .007 and free t4 and free t3 high. Iodine uptake low at 6 and 24 hours..like 3.2%. Antitpo neg antithyroglobulin slightly high at 130ish. Is this recurrent silent thyroiditis? Is it possible that I could have thyroid cancer or thyroid tisssue somewhere else? I know its not likely, but is there a way to rule that out?
I have a good friend who takes metformin with synthroid, but he's diabetic and needs it. He's lost a ton of weight which makes me ssoo jealous, but I'm not diabetic so it won't be good for me - besides my doctor would never prescribe it for me.
Thanks for your comment...I'm new to this sight and hypo...and I've been reading for two days and decided to come out!!!!!!
