Question 1

I'm 20 and I've been taking Obimet SR 500 once a day for my PCOS. My period came on November 13th. Then on December 2nd, I got intimate, although we didn't have sex. I missed my period in December and also skipped some doses of my Obimet SR. I took a pregnancy test on December 24th and it was negative. Later that day, I got intimate again and took an emergency contraceptive pill. I started bleeding on January 1st and it was like a full period that lasted 7 days. I've been back on Obimet SR since January 8th. I've done two more pregnancy tests since then and both were negative. I'm not experiencing any breast pain or other PMS symptoms now. What should I do? Is there a chance I'm pregnant, and if I am, what's the safest way to manage an unwanted pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Consult your gynecologist immediately for a thorough evaluation and guidance, as your symptoms and test results are inconclusive; despite negative pregnancy tests, your missed period, bleeding patterns, and lack of PMS symptoms are concerning; your doctor may order a more sensitive pregnancy test, ultrasound, or other diagnostic tests to confirm or rule out pregnancy; if pregnant, your doctor will discuss safe and legal options, including termination, with you.

Question 2

I recently had a D&C because of a miscarriage, and my partner and I are planning to try again. But ever since the procedure, my periods have been much lighter and only last about two days, which is way different from before. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

TSH Level Interpretation and Treatment

*TSH Level Interpretation*

1. *Normal range*: 0.4-4.5 micro IUmL (varies slightly depending on the laboratory)
2. *Your TSH level*: 12.20 micro IUmL, which is *high*

*Implications of High TSH*

1. *Hypothyroidism*: A high TSH level indicates that your thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones, leading to hypothyroidism.
2. *Treatment necessary*: To manage hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone replacement therapy is necessary.

*Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy*

1. *Levothyroxine (T4)*: The most commonly prescribed medication for hypothyroidism.
2. *Initial dosage*: Typically starts with a low dose, around 25-50 mcg per day.
3. *Dose adjustment*: Based on your TSH level, age, weight, and overall health, your doctor may adjust the dosage.
4. *Monitoring*: Regular TSH level checks (every 6-8 weeks) to ensure the dosage is correct and your TSH level is within the normal range.

*Recommendation for a 33-Year-Old Female*

1. *Consult an endocrinologist or primary care physician*: To discuss your TSH level, determine the best course of treatment, and initiate thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
2. *Initial dosage*: Likely to be around 25-50 mcg of levothyroxine (T4) per day.
3. *Regular monitoring*: Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your TSH level and adjust the dosage as needed.
