I'm a bit worried about my dad's thyroid levels. He has normal T397 and T48.5, but his TSH is slightly high at 5.53. What exactly does this mean? Should we be concerned or take any immediate action?

Hey, so I found out I have PCOD on Sunday and I've been put on this tablet called glycomet. Im supposed to take it once daily after lunch. I've got a few things I'm worried about. First, will this tablet make me gain weight? Im already overweight and I dont want to add to it. Also, ever since I started taking it, I feel super bloated and not hungry at allis that normal? I have a feeling it might be because of the tablet. And does it cause heat in the body? My doctor told me to drink three tender coconuts and lots of buttermilk. Is there any specific food I should be avoiding while on this medication? Would love your input!

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I had an IVF procedure on August 26th, and on September 9th, my beta hCG level was 44.34. I repeated the same test later that day, and it went up to 51.80. Then, two days later, it rose to 97.79. Am I pregnant? Please help me understand what's going on.

I've got a 14 mm thyroid nodule in my right lobe that's grown by 2 mm over the last 1.5 years. A FNA in September 2014 showed it was an adenomatoid nodule with cystic degeneration and there was scant thick colloid in the smears. The FNAC in November 2014 showed suboptimal cellularity. I had a CT scan recently for my neck, and it came back completely normal. My thyroid tests from a few months ago were also normal. Should I consider getting another FNAC or is surgery the next step?
