Hi lybrate-user! Your thyroid problem, PCOD combined with being overweight are all together preventing you from becoming pregnant. Your doctor has rightly started you on thyronorm to take care of thyroid dysfunction, metformin to help you with weight loss and folic acid which must be started if you are planning for pregnancy. So you must take all three of them. Thyroid medicine should be taken in morning empty stomach preferably an hour before you take your first tea or coffee or break fast. Take other medicines through rest of the day. All the best:)

Yes you can take metformin with thyronorm and folic acid but along with all this you should have low calorie diet ,regular exercise and panchkarma treatment which will remove the toxin and bring hormonal balance check your blood sugar test and follicular study done.,regular

Yes you can take nothing to worry as you take thyronorm early in the morning empty stomach so you have a good gap in between medication.

Hi lybrate-user, pcod is a very common problem along with obesity, infertility and weight gain in hypothyroidism. Along with the above medicines you should try ayurvedic medicines for better results. Besides dietery restrictions are necessary for hypothyroidism. I. Avoid soyabean and soy products, ii. Cabbage, broccoli, etc vegetables contain goitrogens which detroy thyroid cell and should be avoided. For detailed prescription you have to share your reports with me.
