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.

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

My TSH level in the recent report is 4.86. I would like to know if this means I have hypothyroidism. Also, should I go for a retest to confirm the result?

Namaste sir, my name is Uma. I am using Thyiox 62.5 MCG since 6 months. Yesterday I did a thyroid test. Please see my report and suggest whether to use the same dose or make any changes?

I have recently undergone a thyroid test. My TSH and T3 are within the normal range, and T4 is also normal but on the higher side. Is this a cause for concern? I am attaching the lab report for your reference.
