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.

Hello sir, I have been taking Thyrox 50 for the past three months. I have sent my latest report. Please review it and advise whether I should continue the medication or if it can be stopped.

Hi, I am suffering from hypothyroidism, and my TSH level is 77 according to my recent report. What medication should I take for this condition? Please help me with proper guidance. I have attached my report for reference.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

My recent TSH test result is 3.42. I have been taking 125 mcg of thyroid medication for years, but I am still not getting relief and continue to gain weight. A doctor I consulted for back pain mentioned that the medicine I am taking could be fake, since my thyroid is in range but my dosage is high. What mcg dose should I actually be taking?
