I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.

Your symptoms could be from thyroid dose imbalance. TSH level helps determine whether dose needs change. Please do not stop or reduce without advice.

I had consulted a skin specialist for pimples on my face. She suggested I go for a blood check and a scan. My report shows TSH level 5.73 and ASM level 5.81. What should I do to reduce my TSH level.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please go through my report and help me find what problem I am facing. I am taking 37.5 mcg and my TSH was 6.25 last month. This report was done five days after my monthly cycle finished. Is it normal. Why unable to get pregnant. I have been trying for one year and have hypothyroidism for six months?

I want to know if I need to seriously consult an endocrinologist as I have low TSH level of 0.17. I am also attaching a screenshot of my blood report. Please suggest what to do next? Thanks in advance.
