I'm in my ninth month of pregnancy and my TSH level is 5.15. Should I be concerned about this? Is there anything I need to do or watch out for?

A TSH level of 5.15 during pregnancy is slightly higher than the recommended range, which is generally 0.2 to 3.0 mUL in the first trimester and up to 3.5 mUL in the second and third trimesters. Its important to discuss this with your doctor, as elevated TSH may indicate an underactive thyroid, which can affect both your health and your baby's development. They may recommend further tests and possible treatment.

I'm really concerned about my journey trying to conceive - it's been 23 months of trying, and I'm getting worried. My periods are regular, and all my blood tests, like TSH and prolactin, have come back normal. The only thing is my blood sugar is in the pre-diabetic range. Now I've found out about this myometrial cyst, and I'm wondering if it could be affecting my ability to conceive. Could this be a reason for the delay, and what should I do about it?

A myometrial cyst is a benign fluid-filled cyst in the muscle layer of the uterus, usually not related to fertility issues. Since your periods are regular and other tests are normal, it's a good sign, but pre-diabetes can affect fertility. It's a good idea to manage your blood sugar levels for better chances of conception.

I'm looking at my thyroid test results and I'm a bit concerned. My thyroxine T4 is 14.8 ugdl, triiodothyronine T3 is 228 ngdl, and my TSH is really low at 0.01. Can you tell me what stage my thyroid levels are at and what I can do to manage or treat this thyroid issue? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what these numbers mean for my health.
