I'm really worried about my baby's growth since the scan at 30 weeks and 5 days showed a weight of 1265 grams with a variation of 185 grams. The report mentioned 28 weeks and 6 days with mild IUGR. I've started on argipreg sachets and alamine forte twice daily, and I'm trying to eat as well as I canmilk with protein powder, three eggs, dry fruits, curd, coconut water, and fresh fruits every day. Is there anything else I should be doing or keeping an eye on?

Your TSH levels have increased from 4.04 to 6.95.

TSH Interpretation

1. Normal range: 0.4-4.5 UmL (may vary slightly depending on the lab)
2. Your result: 6.95 UmL (elevated)

Elevated TSH Indicates

1. Hypothyroidism: Your thyroid gland might not be producing enough thyroid hormones.
2. Thyroid gland dysfunction: The increase in TSH suggests that your thyroid gland is not functioning optimally.

Consult a Doctor

1. Endocrinologist: A specialist who deals with hormonal imbalances and thyroid disorders.
2. Primary Care Physician (PCP):
   • If you don't have an endocrinologist, start with your PCP.
   • They'll evaluate your results, medical history, and perform a physical examination.

Seriousness

1. Mild hypothyroidism: Your TSH level is mildly elevated, which might not require immediate attention.
2. Monitoring and treatment: However, it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the best course of action and prevent potential complications.

Please schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist or your PCP to discuss your test results and determine the next steps.
