Hello Doctor, I am 30 years old and recently had thyroid tests done, which showed TT3: 114, TT4: 9, and TSH: 33. I have not had my periods yet, my last period was in July, and a urine pregnancy test in August was negative. What should I do next?

Your TSH level of 33 is very high, indicating severe hypothyroidism, which can cause delayed or absent periods. Your TT3 and TT4 are in the lower range, supporting this. It is important to consult your doctor to start thyroid medication (thyroxine) as soon as possible to help regulate your thyroid levels and menstrual cycle. You do not need to repeat a pregnancy test unless there is a new exposure risk. Repeat your thyroid profile after 6 to 8 weeks once on treatment to monitor improvement.

I had a sixteen day period flow last month. I visited a local doctor who prescribed medicine to stop the flow and asked me to visit a gynecologist if it continued. My flow stopped after taking the prescription. After a week, my flow started again, so I visited a gynecologist. The gynecologist said everything is normal and the flow may be due to hormonal changes or thyroid issues. He gave me a prescription and asked for a blood test to check thyroid. My flow stopped again after taking the prescription, and I got my blood tested. Currently, all hospitals in my area are full, so I could not visit the gynecologist to show my blood test report. I have attached my blood test report and the prescription. Please guide me about my condition now and future prescription if I get periods again with long flow duration?

I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.
