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

I am 66 years old. My thyroid test was done on an empty stomach after taking my thyroid medicine. The results show TSH is 3.65, T3 is 0.65 ng/mL (slightly low) and T4 is 5.96 microgram/dL (slightly low). I am taking 25 mcg of thyroxine daily. Are these results normal, or could they be inaccurate because I took the medicine before the test?

Sir, after my thyroid test, my report shows T3: 90, T4: 6.1, and TSH: 22.64. Please advise if this is a complicated issue or not?

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in the early stage (borderline), and my doctor prescribed Thyronorm 25 mg. I took the medicine only for one month and then stopped. Now I am planning for my second pregnancy. Will hyperthyroidism affect my pregnancy? Is it necessary to continue thyroid medication, or can I manage without it?
