Hi, we are planning for a second baby. During my first pregnancy, my thyroid levels were under control. I would like to know what TSH level is ideal for conception. I had a checkup today, and my TSH is 3.11. Please advise

TSH 3.11 is slightly high for planning pregnancy. Ideal level is below 2.5. Adjust dose with doctor.

I have been suffering from tiredness for the last 20 days. My blood report shows T3 3.17 nmol per L, TSH 11.01 uIU per L, and T4 is normal. My weight is increasing and I feel sleepy all day. The doctor has prescribed Thyrox 25 McLeods and Amitriptyline HCl 10 mg. Is it okay to take this medicine or should I consult another specialist. Please suggest what food to eat to recover and how much time it will take to recover completely?

Hello, I have a problem with the results of my blood tests. My antithyroglobulin level is 4000, while the maximum is 175. My vitamin B12 level is 157, while the minimum is 185. I am really panicked and want to know if this is life threatening?

I have been experiencing skin rashes on and off for the past 3 months and used Montair LC or Cetirizine whenever they appeared. When I visited a dermatologist, he prescribed an anti allergic medication for a month and suggested some tests. In those tests, my TSH came out as 7.5 microIU/mL.
