i've generally had regular periods(same day every month) but once or twice it happens after 35-45days later.During last 4periods its ranged between 25-40days, could this be a problem if I want to conceive ? Also, in the last 2yrs, I've put on 10lbs, hair grows on face, but my hair on head keeps falling. Does this indicate thryoid problem & will this hamper conception ? Please help, i'm very worried.

It could be hypothyroidism but the first thing that came to my mind was PCOS--Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Make an appt with your on/gyn, family doc, or an endocrinologist.

Definitely could be thyroid. Also, look into PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). I have PCOS, grow facial hair, have a hard time losing the weight I added in the past few years and had great difficulty conceiving.
They can check your labwork to evaluate you for both these conditions. However, you can have normal labs and still have PCOS (you don't have to have all symptoms, and a transvaginal ultrasound looking at your ovaries is the most definitive answer) but with a thyroid disorder, it will absolutely be reflected in your labs.
I had great success with a glycemic index type diet (no bad carbs such as simple starches/white bread/white pasta/potatoes but fruit and good carbs/wheat bread and pasta were ok) which is much more realistic than Adkins with the same results. Also, when you eat a starch/carbohydrate, make sure you eat some protein at the same time. I was also put on Glucophage ER (an oral diabetic medication) even though I do not have diabetes, because it helps with your hormones and weight loss. It regulated my periods and decreased my facial hair growth. I also had a HSG making sure none of my tubes were blocked. A combination of all these things as well as exercise, prayer and faith lead to a beautiful baby boy. Talk to your doctor! I hope any of this helps. Good luck to you!

Hair growing on face could mean low cortisol. Hair falling off of head and weight gain could mean low thyroid. Both mean that you have something going on with your pituitary gland. Do you have a lot of belly fat? Do you have very strong salt or sugar cravings? Are you tired after stress? All are symptoms of low cortisol. You should see an endo and get labs done on all pituitary stimulated hormones. In any case, I would recommend seeing a fertility specialist. Once deficient hormones are replaced, a fert. Dr. can give you meds that will exactly time your ovulation. You will know almost exactly when you ovulate. I did this and had twins, although prior to my pituitary/thyroid condition, but I know many people who have conceived with the same issues. Good luck.

I have had the same exact problem. I was even 2 months late. Thought I was pregnant, but wasn't. They ran a thyroid test on me but everything was normal, so it might just be your hormones. It sucks! The hair on the face is horrible. I don't think it will have any effect on conceiving but I'm not sure, That would just be a question for the doctor.

Hey there,
I know how you are feeling...I had/have irregular cycles and 6 years ago there was a cyst the size of a golf ball attached to my thyroid gland. The cyst and half of my thyroid gland was removed. Low and behold one month later I found out I was pregnant.
In regards, to your concern about your thyroid, ask your doctor what tests they can do to make sure you are healthy, so that when you do conceive you will not have any stresses and you could enjoy your pregnancy.
Good Luck! :-)

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/3bxwB
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.

it could just be that your body is lacking something, and your hormones are not balanced, go and speak to your doctor and ask for blood tests to rule out thyroid problems, also go to a health store and get some agnus castus and evening primrose capsules, they help to even out hormones naturally and regulate your cycle, may take a couple of weeks to kick in, but when they do you will notice the difference and if you have PMS it will help with that as well. try to worry too much as stress can also be a factor. good luck.

Those are symptoms of thyroid problems, but they are also signs of PCOS. You should go see your doctor. They can determine the reason behind this whether it be PCOS or thyroid problems. Just remember that both are treatable and you can conceive. Don't let it get you down. Good luck!

Could be thyroid, but it could be something else. The best thing to do is to see a doctor and get a blood test.
Above all, don't freak out and assume the worst. Worry won't help any illness and it certainly won't help you conceive.
Godspeed.

It could indicate hypothyroidism or PCOS. If you have either of these conditions, yes it could effect getting pregnant. What you need to do is have morning blood work of TSH, Free T4, Free T3, thyroid antibody, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, total tesosterone, FSH, and progesterone
