Brief Answer:
Yes, you should continue your thyronorm

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
PCOD is an endocrine disorder and usually keep under control by lifestyle changes andmedications.
Lifestyle modification plays a very important role in PCOS.
So you should reduce your weight by exercise, take a healthy and balanced diet, eat more leafy vegetables, drink a lot of water.
If you want to conceive early then you should take ginnette 35 and metformin tablets after consulting your treating doctor as you can not take birth control pills.
Yes, you should continue your thyronorm tablets and repeat thyroid profile after 3 months.
Maybe your levels are normal due to thyronorm tablets.
Hope it is useful, feel free to didiscuss more information.
Good luck for your future outcome.

even in my first diagnosis,before taking thyronorm, tsh was 6.67 but the t3,t4 are normal. as suggested i will continue to take.

should thyronorm be taken in early morning 4:30 to 6:30? can i take even without brushing?

Brief Answer:
You can take clomiphene when you are planning a baby.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Now you can continue your treatment with ginette 35 but after marriage when you are planning for a baby, you should stop ginette.( birth control contraceptive).
You can take clomiphene 50 mg tablet and metformin ( glycephage) 500 mg, along with folic acid and multivitamin when you are planning your pregnancy.
I think thyronorm 25 mg continue because your tsh levels are high .it should be less than 2.5 to conceive fast.
You should take it empty stomach , either after brushing or before.
No need to take it so early.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
