I had laparoscopic ovarian drilling surgery two days ago and my doctor recommended IUI treatment next month. What are the chances of getting pregnant naturally after this procedure or should we stick with IUI for better success?

Q: I'm scheduled for a varicocelectomy and have hypothyroidism currently taking Thyronorm 150mg. Will my thyroid levels being too high or low cause any issues during the surgery? Could thyroid hormone levels affect how the procedure goes or my recovery?

yes , temporary affect thyroid level.

After laparoscopic ovarian drilling, approximately 40-60% of women become pregnant within a year, with about 50% of those pregnancies being spontaneous. While IUI can increase pregnancy rates, ReproductiveFacts.org states that ovarian drilling is a one-time treatment, while IUI requires monthly interventions. If ovulation and menstrual cycles are still irregular after drilling, or if other fertility issues exist, IUI might be recommended for increased success rates

I'm really worried about my wife who's 15 days pregnant. Her TSH level is at 4.59 and I'm not sure if that's normal during pregnancy. If she starts taking medicine for it, could there be any negative effects after the pregnancy? Could you please advise on what's best for her health?

Your wife's TSH level of 4.59 is slightly elevated, but during pregnancy, the normal TSH range is wider due to hormonal changes. For pregnant women, the normal TSH range is: First trimester: 0.3-4.5 mIUL, Second trimester: 0.5-4.6 mIUL, and Third trimester: 0.8-5.2 mIUL. However, some studies recommend that the upper limit for TSH during pregnancy should be 2.5 mIUL
