I'm dealing with hypothyroidism, and my TSH levels are at 11.25. I've also been taking antidepressants, and I've noticed that my weight and belly fat have increased quite a bit. Can you recommend the best cooking oil for someone in my situation? Also, any advice on how to lose weight and reduce belly fat would be really helpful.

I'm 34 years old and my fasting glucose level is 103. I'm a bit concerned about what this might mean for my health. Could you tell me if this is something dangerous for me? And how long might it be before I need to worry about becoming prediabetic?

Question

I'm a bit concerned right now. Over the past few months, my follicular scans showed my endometrium thickness was in good range, over 6mm or even 7.75mm. But this month, it dropped to just 4.8mm. My thyroid profile looks normal with TSH, T3, and T4 levels, according to my doctor. But my antithyroglobulin and anti-TSH antibodies are really high. My doctor said I don't need meds for that, but when I went to an infertility center, they gave me Thyronorm to take every morning on an empty stomach. I'm worried if this condition is affecting my fertility or chances of getting pregnant. Could the thyroxine sodium be making my endometrium thinner? Should I even take it? Also, I'm curious if taking Estrogen Estradiol Valerate from day 5 of my period and Progesterone Duphaston from the 15th day will help thicken my endometrium and improve my chances of getting pregnant. What do you think?
