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?

TSH is slightly high. Thyroid may worsen post pregnancy. Restart Thyronorm after doctor consult. Monitor levels.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Why are both my TSH and T4 levels high? I understand that a high TSH usually means hypothyroidism, so why is my T4 also high? Is this a serious problem? I am really worried. Please check my report and help me understand.

My thyroid test on August 26 showed TSH 4.06, and I started taking Thyronorm 50 mcg for four months. I rechecked my thyroid today and the results are TSH: 5.14 FT3: 2.58 FT4: 1.13 Should I continue the same dose, or is an adjustment needed? My fasting blood sugar is 94 mg/dL. Please advise.
