Hi, I did a thyroid test one month back and my TSH was 27.5. The doctor suggested taking 100 mcg tablet and repeating the TSH test after one month. I went for a retest after one month, and now my TSH is 0.6, which is normal. The doctor gave me 87.5 mcg tablet to continue for the next month. She told me that I can plan for a baby now. Should I continue the tablet even though my TSH is normal, and is it safe to plan for a baby now or should I wait for some more time?

Your thyroid level has normalized, which is great. If TSH remains under 2.5, it is safe to plan pregnancy. Continue 87.5 mcg dose and retest TSH every 4 to 6 weeks during pregnancy. Also check Anti TPO antibodies if not done before.

I recently had a thyroid function test (T3, T4, and TSH) done, but I am not sure how to interpret the results. My report shows T3: 0.52 ng/mL, T4: 4.70 microgram/dL, and TSH: 2.36 microIU/mL. Could you please tell me if these results indicate a thyroid problem or if they are within the normal range?

I recently had a thyroid test and would like to know if the results are normal. I think my T3 might be slightly low. Could you please review my report and let me know? I would be thankful.
