Question 1

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?

Question 2

My recent TSH test result is 3.42. I have been taking 125 mcg of thyroid medication for years, but I am still not getting relief and continue to gain weight. A doctor I consulted for back pain mentioned that the medicine I am taking could be fake, since my thyroid is in range but my dosage is high. What mcg dose should I actually be taking?

Question 3

My TSH is 11.56 as per my report today. I am feeling tired all the time and have body heaviness and no interest in doing any work. Are any other tests required before going to the doctor? Kindly suggest.

Hi, I recently had my thyroid tests done (T3, T4, TSH). I am not sure if the results are normal. Here is my report for your review.

If your T3, T4 are normal but TSH is abnormal, it may indicate early thyroid imbalance. Symptoms or pregnancy plans matter. Consult your doctor to confirm if treatment is needed.
