Hello, Delayed or irregular menstrual periods can occur in hypothyroidism. But hypothyroidism is diagnosed when TSH levels are 10 mU/L or more. The level mentioned is normal, it does not fall in the category of sub-clinical hypothyroidism also. In such a situation I do not see the reason for prescribing Thyroxine 25 mcg tablets. It is possible that there may be other causes involved in delayed period. A more through check up may be needed. Thanks
