I'm 31 and planning to conceive this year, but I've been told my TSH levels are too high for that, and I might need hormone pills. My Vitamin D is also low at 4.82 ngml. I've heard low Vitamin D can lead to high TSH. Should I start with Vitamin D supplements first? Would that help with the TSH levels, or should I focus on the TSH issue directly? What's your advice on navigating these levels when planning for pregnancy?

I'm a 21-year-old woman and I've been struggling with PCOS symptoms like period acne and hair thinning. I took meds for a few months to help with my menstruation, and right now I'm using minoxidil 5% mintop eva for hair loss. I've noticed some new hair growth on my scalp, which is great but also more hair on my face, which is freaking me out a bit since I already had some facial hair. I'm not sure if this is from using minoxidil or just my PCOS acting up. My doctor is away for a few weeks and I don't know whether to stop using minoxidil or what to do. Any advice on this? I'm really confused about what's causing the facial hair growth and how to manage it without losing the hair on my head.
It is possible that the increased hair growth on your face is due to the use of minoxidil, as it can sometimes cause hair growth in unintended areas. However, it could also be related to your PCOS, as hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can lead to hirsutism (excessive hair growth). Since you are already seeing positive results on your scalp with minoxidil, it may be beneficial to continue using it for your hair loss. To address the facial hair growth, you may consider talking to your doctor about adjusting the dosage or frequency of minoxidil application. Additionally, treatments such as anti-androgen medications or topical creams like eflornithine can help manage unwanted facial hair growth in women with PCOS. It's important to discuss these options with your doctor once they are available.
