I'm dealing with an underactive thyroid and my levels are at 7.98. Is this a big issue when it comes to getting pregnant? I'm really hoping to conceive and wondering if injections could be a solution. What do you think?

Having an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) with a TSH level of 7.98 can affect fertility and conception, as thyroid hormones play a crucial role in regulating menstrual cycles and ovulation; to conceive, consider the following steps: consult an endocrinologist to optimize your thyroid medication and achieve a normal TSH range (0.4-4.5); simultaneously, consult a fertility specialist or gynecologist to discuss potential fertility treatments,

View allI really need some advice on adjusting thyroid medication. Six months ago, the TSH level dropped from 8 to 6.75, so I thought it would be okay to lower the dosage from 25mcg to 12.5mcg. But now the TSH has gone up to 10.87, and I'm worried. What do you recommend for someone who's 51 years old in this situation? I'm trying to find the right balance here.

I'm really worried and need some advice. I've been taking Mext 0.75mg for five days now, and Ive started experiencing more frequent urination, almost like having diabetes. Could this be a side effect of the medication? And if so, what can I do to manage these symptoms?
use another tablet
