Hi, I am a breastfeeding mother with a 6 month old baby. I am currently taking 50 mcg of thyroxine, but my TSH level has increased to 9.395. Could you please advise on the appropriate thyroxine dose for me? I weigh 52 kg and am 30 years old. My report is attached.

I have had two miscarriages in a row and went through several tests afterward. In my recent report, my TSH level came back as 5.5. We are planning to try for pregnancy again, as it has been 6 months since my last miscarriage. Should I start taking thyroid medication to be on the safer side since my TSH is slightly higher than normal? Does a TSH of 5.5 affect ovulation and fertility? If I start the medicine, will it be unnecessary, or is it okay to take a low dose thyroid medicine?
