A member asked:

Doc i need help...am not getting my regular periods....i get them only after 4 to 5 months wen am very much stressed out....ders no normal flow... ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oligomenorrhea: Stress, weight changes or heavy exercise can cause this. But after you have irregular menstrual periods (oligomenorrhea) for this long, a doctor should test for a hormonal cause. You might need a Provera (medroxyprogesterone) withdrawal test. If no bleeding after stopping Provera (medroxyprogesterone), you might need to start an OCP that contains estrogen

Just had a CBC taken, my TSH was 4.76, the range on my report was 4 50, but my doc didn't treat me, is this high enough to get medication? Also, is this underactive or overactive? Could stress cause it, and if so can it go back to normal w/ no meds?
