[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - how are your hypothyroid symptoms? I ask because at a TSH of 2.5 I gained 20 pounds in a month. My endo prefers a level closer to 1 when TTC.

With PCOS and hypothyroidism (I’m assuming Hashimoto’s), I would be discussing cutting dairy, gluten, and possibly soy with your nutritionist. Both conditions are autoimmune and those three foods can be huge triggers. This isn’t to say to restrict those on top of your lower calorie diet, it’s to change what you eat. With hypothyroidism, it can be a tough balancing act between too many and too few calories because your body will hold on to extra weight if you aren’t eating enough.

OP here- I feel like they are well managed. My endo has me on 112mg of levothyroxine and he told me he was happy with my TSH at 2.5. I go back this Wednesday and am getting my A1C checked and TSH checked again so it may have gone down more. I’m not even that familiar with where levels should really be but he said he was good with me at 2.5. Also yes, I do have hashimotos.

I’ll definitley check with my nutritionist about maybe cutting those things Out. I do limit my dairy significantly because my body doesn’t handle dairy well at all if I eat a lot of it. Like I had said, I eat 2-3 yogurts a week and then will sometimes snack on a string cheese or sliced Cabot for snacks but that’s not every day. Other then that, I don’t do any other dairy.[/quote]
