I did my thyroid test last week for the first time because my body weight is not reducing even after hard exercise. My blood test shows T3 and T4 are normal, but TSH level is increased to 21. How can I reduce it?

High TSH with normal T3/T4 is equal to subclinical hypothyroidism. Weight gain is common. Start low dose levothyroxine under supervision. Recheck TSH in 6 weeks.

Dr. Shaik Suggests...

Take a Thyroid Profile (T3 T4 TSH) Test Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Hello doctor, please find my recent thyroid test report attached. Please suggest if there is any abnormality? We are planning for a baby and I am currently not on any medication.

My reports shows AMH (ECLIA): 0.199 and TSH (ultrasensitive): 4.687 What do these results mean for my chances of conceiving, and what precautions or steps should I take to improve my fertility?
