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.

View allI 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?

This is my routine blood test report, which I take every 3 to 6 months to check my thyroid. Last time, the doctor advised me to take Thyronorm 75 mg tablet, which I completed yesterday. I have now gone for my checkup. I just want to know whether I have to continue the same medicine or not. My reports are attached above.
