Hello, I had hypothyroidism during my pregnancy with TSH 11.5, and my gynecologist suggested taking 100 mcg of Thyronorm (while I had been taking 75 mcg before). Now, post delivery, my TSH value is 0.014, which seems like hyperthyroidism. Can you please tell me if this is dangerous and what the cause might be? My calcium levels are borderline low, and my vitamin D levels have also decreased. Will this affect my baby (2.5 months old) as I am breastfeeding? My gynecologist, after looking at my report, changed the Thyronorm dosage from 100 mcg back to 75 mcg. How frequently should I do a thyroid test, and is there anything I need to worry about? Can my pituitary gland become normal post pregnancy?

Likely postpartum thyroiditis or overmedication. Needs thyroid monitoring every 6 to 8 weeks. Baby is safe. Recheck levels and consult endocrinologist.

Hi, I have noticed bald patches on my beard and scalp. I consulted a doctor, and they advised me to do blood tests for Fasting Glucose, TSH, and Serum Anti TPO. I have done the tests, and the results are, Fasting Glucose is 93, TSH is 6.039, and Anti TPO is greater than 1300. After getting the report, I did not get a chance to consult the doctor again. I searched on the Internet and found that it may be related to thyroid problems.
