Hi, it has been two months since I gave birth to a baby girl. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues. One month after delivery, I took a thyroid test, and the result was normal, so I stopped taking the tablets. I want to know whether I need to continue the tablets or take the thyroid test again to confirm if it is still normal. Is it also necessary to test my baby thyroid? I am attaching my thyroid result.

Thyroid levels can fluctuate after delivery, especially if you had pregnancy related thyroid issues. Even if one test was normal, its best to recheck thyroid (TSH, T3, T4) after stopping medication. Do not stop thyroid medicine permanently without doctor guidance. In most cases, thyroid testing in the baby is not needed unless advised.

I got my thyroid test done from Dr. Lal Path Lab. My TSH ultrasensitive level is 21, and the report shows thyroid ranges for pregnancy. Why are pregnancy ranges mentioned in my report?

Should I continue taking Thyronorm 75 mg or visit you in person? I am a student and have very limited time, so I would like to know if you can review my report and advise me online, or if an in person consultation is necessary.

I am suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypothyroidism, for which I am taking Thyronorm 50 mcg. I regularly go to the gym, follow a nutritious diet, and take whey protein (Livo Universal). Recently, I had a blood test, and the results showed TSH 5, globulin 3.8, RA factor active, low vitamin B12 and B9 levels, and high LDL. Please explain what these results mean.
