I am a 29 year old female, married for five years. I have had an MTP and two abortions. My TSH was normal until now, but my latest blood report shows an increased TSH of 7.83. I recently lost 22 kg through a healthy diet and exercises under the guidance of a dietician.

A TSH of 7.83 indicates hypothyroidism. Weight loss and hormonal changes may trigger thyroid shifts. Since you have a reproductive history and are planning pregnancy, it is important to bring TSH to less than 2.5. Please consult your doctor to start or adjust thyroxine dose.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

I had a missed miscarriage 3 months ago. I have attached my report. Will I need to take any medicine now as we have already started trying to conceive? My gynecologist says to take medicine for 2 months. Please suggest?

I am pregnant, and my TSH level is 8.21 as per my blood report. Should I be worried?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Hi, my T3 and T4 are high but TSH is normal. I also have PCOS. Can you please suggest if these can be a reason for weight gain? Even with a normal diet, my weight is increasing continuously. Please find the attached blood test report.
