I'm wondering if it's safe to take thyronorm 50 mcg alongside folvite 5 mg, since we're planning to have a baby. My TSH was 5.7 but has come down to 4.97 after taking thyronorm and some homeopathy treatments. I'm really curious if this TSH level is okay for conceiving?

Q: I've been checking my blood sugar at home with a glucometer, and I got 99 before eating. Then, 2 hours after having lunchwhich was mainly a maida wrap, chocolate cake, and ice creamit shot up to 151, and 3 hours later, it was 148. Is this something I should be worried about?

Your current readings are slightly higher than normal but not alarmingly high. However, its important to monitor your blood sugar over time, especially after consuming foods high in refined sugars. If these numbers become more consistent, it's worth discussing with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like insulin resistance or pre-diabetes.

Q: I have PCOS and only my left fallopian tube is open while the right one is blocked. My doctor prescribed medication for fertilization but also suggested laparoscopic surgery. Is the surgery really necessary or are there other ways to clear the blocked tube? Can I still get pregnant with just one open tube?

gynaecologist opinion is advised to the patient

Q: How do you feel when your sugar is low?

Sweating,dizziness,pounding heartbeat

Taking Thyronorm 50 mcg (levothyroxine) with Folvite 5mg (folic acid) is generally safe, especially when planning for a baby. Folic acid is essential for fetal development during pregnancy.

Thyroid Hormone Levels and Conception

Your TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels have improved from 5.7 to 4.97 with Thyronorm 50 mcg and homeopathy treatment. A TSH level of 4.97 is still slightly elevated, but it's within the acceptable range for conception.

American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines

The ATA recommends the following TSH levels for women trying to conceive:

TSH < 2.5: Ideal for conception

TSH 2.5-4.0: Acceptable for conception, but may require closer monitoring

TSH > 4.0: May require adjustment of thyroid medication before conception

In Your Case

With a TSH level of 4.97, you may want to discuss the following with your doctor:

Adjusting Thyronorm dosage: To aim for a TSH level < 2.5

Closer monitoring: Regular TSH checks to ensure your levels remain within the acceptable range

Folic acid supplementation: Continue taking Folvite 5mg to support fetal development during pregnancy
