I had a sixteen day period flow last month. I visited a local doctor who prescribed medicine to stop the flow and asked me to visit a gynecologist if it continued. My flow stopped after taking the prescription. After a week, my flow started again, so I visited a gynecologist. The gynecologist said everything is normal and the flow may be due to hormonal changes or thyroid issues. He gave me a prescription and asked for a blood test to check thyroid. My flow stopped again after taking the prescription, and I got my blood tested. Currently, all hospitals in my area are full, so I could not visit the gynecologist to show my blood test report. I have attached my blood test report and the prescription. Please guide me about my condition now and future prescription if I get periods again with long flow duration?

Extended bleeding can stem from thyroid dysfunction or hormonal imbalance. Please do a Thyroid Panel and Pelvic Ultrasound to identify cause.

Question

I received my thyroid test report today. Could you please review it and let me know if the results are normal?

I wanted to ask if it is possible to have hypothyroidism even when thyroid levels appear normal. My recent test results show T3 at 130, T4 at 9.71, and TSH at 1.23, all within the normal range. However, I am experiencing several symptoms such as brain fog, anxiety, slowed thinking, extreme laziness, and memory issues. Could these symptoms still be related to a thyroid issue despite the normal lab values?

Question

My TSH is 0.09 and Prolactin is 22.44 as per my report. Please explain what this means. Is it difficult to conceive with these values?
