I'm experiencing some irritation in my throat, and I just got my thyroid levels checked. It turns out my TSH is really high, around 1016, but my T3 and T4 levels are normal. I'm not sure what this could mean. Can you tell me what this condition is and what kind of treatment I should consider?
it can be subclinical hypothyroidism

I'm a bit confused and worried because it's been 19 days since my IUI, and I just got my period. I was taking Susten 200 mg after the procedure. Do you think I need to get any additional scans or take more medicine? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
If you have gotten period on 19th day of IUI means that you could be having luteal phase deficiency and need hormonal supplementation to augment the luteal phase. You can use intafol D tablets.
