Hi, it has been two months since I gave birth to a baby girl. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues. One month after delivery, I took a thyroid test, and the result was normal, so I stopped taking the tablets. I want to know whether I need to continue the tablets or take the thyroid test again to confirm if it is still normal. Is it also necessary to test my baby thyroid? I am attaching my thyroid result.

Thyroid levels can fluctuate after delivery, especially if you had pregnancy related thyroid issues. Even if one test was normal, its best to recheck thyroid (TSH, T3, T4) after stopping medication. Do not stop thyroid medicine permanently without doctor guidance. In most cases, thyroid testing in the baby is not needed unless advised.

Hello, I have a problem with the results of my blood tests. My antithyroglobulin level is 4000, while the maximum is 175. My vitamin B12 level is 157, while the minimum is 185. I am really panicked and want to know if this is life threatening?

I am on medication with Thyronorm 88 mg, and my recent blood report shows TSH level 14.02. Should I change my dose, and if yes, should I reduce or increase it?
