My name is Nandini. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for 5 years and am currently taking Thyronorm 125 mcg. Recently, I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am experiencing heavy hair fall and have been trying to conceive for the past 3 years without success. My periods are very irregular, sometimes once every 3 months, with very heavy bleeding, clots, and severe pain lasting almost a month, which only stops when I take Meprate for a month. Please suggest what I should do now, as I want to conceive.

PCOS, thyroid, heavy bleeding all interfere with conception. Hormones need balancing first. Long bleeding needs medical attention.

Take a THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test or Take a ANTI MULLERIAN HORMONE (AMH) Test

Question

I am suffering from hypothyroidism. My recent thyroid panel test shows the following results: T3: 48.51 ng/dL T4: 1.90 microg/dL TSH: greater than 150 microIU/mL Could you please suggest Homeopathic medicines to manage my hypothyroidism?

Question

I received my thyroid test report today. Could you please review it and let me know if the results are normal?

Question

I have had two miscarriages in a row and went through several tests afterward. In my recent report, my TSH level came back as 5.5. We are planning to try for pregnancy again, as it has been 6 months since my last miscarriage. Should I start taking thyroid medication to be on the safer side since my TSH is slightly higher than normal? Does a TSH of 5.5 affect ovulation and fertility? If I start the medicine, will it be unnecessary, or is it okay to take a low dose thyroid medicine?
