Severe pain in ovaries during periods

I started taking Levothyroxine in February as part of attempts to sort out fertility issues and prepare for IVF. My levels started at 8.49, after taking 50mg Levothyroxine for 8 weeks levels dropped to 2.74. I was happy with that as I was told that i need to be below 2.5 for IVF. After another 8 weeks levels jumped up to 3.94 and dose was increased to 75mg. I then started experiencing severe pains during periods in my left ovary to the point that I was taking Co-codamol + Ibuprophen every two hours and still felt like i was being operated on! Now I got Tramadol and Naproxen which help with the pain (although I can still feel it) but make me groggy and unable to get out of bed. I wonder if anyone has experienced similar issues as my GP says it is unlikely that this is linked to Levothyroxine. So far I've had an ultrasound done. I was told that all looked normal and that pain might be related to "hormones" and that it would be best to go on the pill! Such an insensitive reply considering my fertility struggle and plans for IVF.

    Hello,

    I really hope my reply is not too late. First of all, I want to ask if your condition has improved?

    And secondly, if you are taking or have considered taking any vitamins?
