I recently received my TSH test results, and they came back as 13.4 uIUml. I'm a bit concerned about this. Could you tell me how much thyronorm I should be taking daily? Right now, I'm on 75mg.

I'm a bit confused and worried because it's been 19 days since my IUI, and I just got my period. I was taking Susten 200 mg after the procedure. Do you think I need to get any additional scans or take more medicine? Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
If you have gotten period on 19th day of IUI means that you could be having luteal phase deficiency and need hormonal supplementation to augment the luteal phase. You can use intafol D tablets.
