I Need more info...: Your profile says that you are only 29 years old, yet you have had a hysterectomy. Based on the fact that you are on Minivelle (Estrogen) and have an LH of 98, I'm guessing you had your ovaries removed. If this is true, you are on a very low dose of estrogen for your age. A low TSH and high LH do not directly cause weight gain. See your doc. He won't have to guess about your history!
