I've been taking Thyronorm 75 mg for my thyroid, but my recent thyroid blood test showed my T3 at 86 ngdl, T4 at 6 ngdl, and TSH at 10.65 nIUml. With my TSH levels being high, I'm wondering if I need to switch my medication to 100 mg instead of the 75 mg I've been taking?

I'm trying to get pregnant but I'm dealing with a prolactin level of 37 and an AMH level of 1.46. I've taken medication for the prolactin issue, and there were 4 pills involved. Do you think I can still get pregnant? I'm also on letrozole and duphaston at the moment. My doctor mentioned IUI as a possibility, but I'm feeling really confused about what to do next. Any advice?

It's natural to feel a bit confused, but trust your doctors guidance and continue with the treatment plan.
