Hi, I recently got my thyroid checked after delivery (I delivered a baby a year ago). My report shows TSH is 4.26. I want to know if this is normal or if I need any medication. P.S. The sample was taken on an empty stomach in the morning.

A TSH level of 4.26 is slightly above the optimal range for women trying to conceive or postpartum. If you have symptoms like fatigue or weight gain, a doctor may start low dose thyroid medication.

I am pregnant, and my TSH level is 8.21 as per my blood report. Should I be worried?

I had a missed miscarriage 3 months ago. I have attached my report. Will I need to take any medicine now as we have already started trying to conceive? My gynecologist says to take medicine for 2 months. Please suggest?

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?
