Hi, My thyroid test shows a TSH level of 4.52 microIU/mL, and it is marked as high in my report. Does this require medication, or is it something that can be monitored?

TSH is borderline high. If you have symptoms or trying to conceive, treatment may be started. Check T3, T4.

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, we are planning for a second baby. During my first pregnancy, my thyroid levels were under control. I would like to know what TSH level is ideal for conception. I had a checkup today, and my TSH is 3.11. Please advise

I experienced heavy menstruation for two consecutive months, and my blood test showed that my TSH level was elevated to 7.2 microIU/mL. Following a friend medical advice, I have started taking Thyroxine Sodium 25 mcg tablets. Will this treatment help normalize my next menstrual cycle, or will I also need hormonal therapy? I am concerned about the possible side effects of hormonal treatment, such as weight gain. Please advise the best approach. I am attaching my reports for your review.
