There is a strong link between hypothyroidism, in particular Hashimoto's autoimmune thyroid disease, and PCOS. I know this post was put up a while ago and I hope you have conceived. In case not, please know that the lack of awareness about hypothyroidism is pervasive in the medical community and that perhaps a closer look at your hypothyroidism condition is needed. I learned the hard way that infertility, miscarriage and other pregnancy related conditions are linked in the research to hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism following the birth of my first son in 2006 and experienced many of the symptoms you have listed. I trusted my doctors completely assuming they knew everything there was to know about this disease, especially when I became pregnant again in late 2008. How wrong I was! Under their care my TSH, the gold standard for measuring thyroid function, rose high above the safe range for pregnancy and I miscarried. I vowed to myself that I would research everything there was to know about hypothyroidism and warn other women. I fulfilled my vow and launched my blog Hypothyroidmom.com in memory of the baby I lost to hypothyroidism.
