Dear friend, welcome to Healthcaremagic!
I am Dr. Prasad Akole (Critical Care Expert- http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole) and am glad to address to your query here.
Your TSH has increased despite being on eltroxin. You will need an increase of the dose to control hypothyroidism adequately.
If you are planning for a baby, I would advise to get guided by an endocrinologist for total evaluation and control of hypothyroid state.
PCOS and hypothyroid state are related and hence your gynaecologist’s advice is also helpful.
Hormonal imbalance is adverse for the baby.
I hope to have answered your query satisfactorily. I would be glad to answer any further queries. Take care and please keep me informed of your progress at http://bit.ly/Dr-Prasad-Akole
