Typically an overactive (vs. underactive)  thyroid is associated with weight loss, increased heart rate, perspiration, etc.  It sounds like you have a hormonal imbalance with difficult menses.  You might also have an adrenal imbalance since the adrenals, thyroid and ovaries tend to function together to maintain equilibrium.


  Seek out the advice of a trained health care professional who can take a good history, perform the proper tests and identify the cause of your imbalances.  You will not be able to sustain a pregnancy unless your organ systems are back in balance.
