During pregnancy, thyroid was detected. I was taking 25 mg tablets as prescribed by my gynecologist during pregnancy. Now my son is 2 years old, and a blood test was done 3 days ago. The test was Free TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. T3 and T4 are within range, but TSH is raised to 7.25. What should I do? The blood report is attached here. Please guide.

This indicates subclinical hypothyroidism. Dose may need to be increased. Please take a repeat TSH in 4to6 weeks and Anti-TPO antibodies.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

I recently had my anti TPO thyroid test done, and the levels are significantly higher than the normal range. I have been taking 50 mcg Thyronorm for my TSH levels for the past 2 years. Additionally, I developed urticaria (skin reaction) 5 months ago, which is still ongoing.

I am 32 years old, married, and have hypothyroidism. I take 50 mcg of medication every day. Over the last few months, I have noticed that my periods end on the second day, with no flow on the third day and only light spotting on the fourth day. The flow is very light, I could manage with one pad for the whole day, though I usually do not. My periods are regular and always on time. My recent thyroid test results are: TSH: 5.55 T3: 1.06 T4: 6.30 Is this normal?
