I am a 29 year old female, married for five years. I have had an MTP and two abortions. My TSH was normal until now, but my latest blood report shows an increased TSH of 7.83. I recently lost 22 kg through a healthy diet and exercises under the guidance of a dietician.

A TSH of 7.83 indicates hypothyroidism. Weight loss and hormonal changes may trigger thyroid shifts. Since you have a reproductive history and are planning pregnancy, it is important to bring TSH to less than 2.5. Please consult your doctor to start or adjust thyroxine dose.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in the early stage (borderline), and my doctor prescribed Thyronorm 25 mg. I took the medicine only for one month and then stopped. Now I am planning for my second pregnancy. Will hyperthyroidism affect my pregnancy? Is it necessary to continue thyroid medication, or can I manage without it?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi doctor, I have been diagnosed with a thyroid problem for the past two years. At present, I am taking 100 mg Thyronorm. Recently my blood report shows TSH 0.32, T3 0.92, and T4 11.50. What does this mean?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I suffered from asymptomatic COVID-19 two months ago, and my test was negative after seven days. After that, I developed a thyroid problem 1.5 months ago. I have consulted my doctor and am taking all medicines regularly. I am a married woman for seven months, and we have been trying to conceive for one month, but I have not become pregnant. Please give me some advice?
