Hi, I got married three months ago and we are trying to conceive. I have a thyroid condition and am currently taking 50 mcg of medication daily. My weight is 63 kg and height is 155 cm. I stay active by walking regularly and playing badminton. Despite this, I have not been able to get pregnant yet. Could you help me understand why?

It is common to take a few months to conceive. Your thyroid needs to stay well controlled TSH levels less than 2.5. Continue healthy habits, stay relaxed, and keep tracking ovulation.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Prolactin Test Test

Question

I have been having thyroid problems for more than two years and that is why I am facing so much pain in my arms and legs. This pain has been going on for more than two years. I have consulted a few physicians and orthopaedic doctors but still have so much pain that I am not able to stand for more than an hour and cannot walk much. My blood report is normal and my weight is not high. Since the thyroid problem was identified, digestive process has become very poor.

Question

My blood report is attached. There is a rise in TSH and triglycerides are 230. There is also a lack of iron and vitamin D. I am taking blood pressure and blood thinner medicines. Kindly suggest what should be done?

My father is 76 years old and has hypothyroidism. He has been taking Thyronorm 25 mcg daily for more than a year. His recent blood test results are: T3: 90.55 ng/dL (normal range for above 50 yrs: 40 to 181 ng/dL) T4: 4.7 microgram/dL (normal range for above 60 yrs: 5 to 10.7 microgram/dL) TSH: 20.9 microIU/mL (normal range for 55 to 87 yrs: 0.5 to 8.9 microIU/mL) Should his dose be changed or kept the same? If it needs adjustment, what should the new dose be?
