Hello, I had hypothyroidism during my pregnancy with TSH 11.5, and my gynecologist suggested taking 100 mcg of Thyronorm (while I had been taking 75 mcg before). Now, post delivery, my TSH value is 0.014, which seems like hyperthyroidism. Can you please tell me if this is dangerous and what the cause might be? My calcium levels are borderline low, and my vitamin D levels have also decreased. Will this affect my baby (2.5 months old) as I am breastfeeding? My gynecologist, after looking at my report, changed the Thyronorm dosage from 100 mcg back to 75 mcg. How frequently should I do a thyroid test, and is there anything I need to worry about? Can my pituitary gland become normal post pregnancy?

Likely postpartum thyroiditis or overmedication. Needs thyroid monitoring every 6 to 8 weeks. Baby is safe. Recheck levels and consult endocrinologist.

My wife weight is 70 kgs and height is 5 feet 1 inch. Her T3 and T4 are normal but her TSH is on the higher side. Pictures of the report are attached. Can you please let me know what needs to be done along with a description of its complications? The test report was done from Thyrocare lab. Is it okay or should I get the test done from another lab? I am awaiting an urgent response from an endocrinologist. Thanks a lot in advance.

My TSH is 0.09 and Prolactin is 22.44 as per my report. Please explain what this means. Is it difficult to conceive with these values?
