I have a 4 yr old son and have been trying to get pregnant again for the past 3 months. 2 months back, I started getting stomach cramps and breast tenderness and enlargement one week before the expected date of my monthly periods. I thought these were the signs of pregnancy. I missed my periods, but the pregnany test was negative. I had lots of backache and in the 5th week, I got my periods, which was heavier than usual.

When I visited my gynaecologist, she had a blood test done for, lh, fsh, hcg, and tsh. My lh and fsh were in the normal range. Hcg was < 2. But, my tsh was 7.82. My ultrasound test result was also normal. And, the doctor told me that I was not pregnant.


I had a follow-up test done for tsh after a month and got a value of 5.79. My physician refused to give me any medication since the value was just a little over the normal range.


I have a history of irregular periods but the last month I got my periods at exactly 29 days.

We were actively trying to get pregnant this month but I got my periods after exactly 29 days after severe breast tenderness, stomach cramps, and leg cramps. I am very disappointed. Do you think, since, my tsh value is little high that I didn't conceive this month? Can you give me your advice?
