I took my last medication on 3rd July. After 11 days, my period has not started. I checked with a pregnancy test twice, and both were negative. What should I do next, and how many more days should I wait?

After stopping medication, periods can take up to 2 weeks to return. If your pregnancy tests are negative, it is unlikely you are pregnant. Wait for 1 more week. If periods do not start, consult your doctor for evaluation. You may need a Thyroid Profile and Pelvic Ultrasound if delays continue to rule out hormonal or PCOS related issues.

I am pregnant, and my TSH level is 8.21 as per my blood report. Should I be worried?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem before my pregnancy. I was on medication throughout that period, taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg. Post-delivery, my blood report showed that my TSH was normal, so I stopped the medicine. Now I checked again, and it shows that my TSH is 6.34. Please advise whether I should continue the same medicine at the same dosage?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
