Trying to conceive, having pregnancy symptoms and short period. Took thyrox-50. PCOS not found. Reasons for these symptoms?
Patient: i'm trying to conceive. Last month I felt pregnant symptoms like bloating, relieving lot of gas, indigestion, light-headed, slight headache,  but got my period on the actual period date. The period only lasted for 1.5 days, which is usually 5 days. My TSH was 8.13 during august, Took thyrox-50 and now 3.22. after periods also i felt the pregnancy symptoms. So tested for beta HCG and came 1.2 (negative). Checked for PCOs and none found. What to know why i got those symptoms. Am i normal? Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,Bloating, indigestion, headache are not symptoms of pregnancy.Pregnancy can only confirmed by pregnancy tests during early pregnancy days.Hypothyroidism or low thyroid hormones can cause menstrual abnormalities and/or difficulty in conceiving.However, treatment of hypothyroidism corrects all menstrual abnormalities.Conception takes place at the time of ovulation.Ovulation can be determined by basal body temperature and examining the cervical mucus.Bloating, indigestion and light headedness are caused by problems of the gastro-intestinal tract.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal
