I am 37 years old, and my period suddenly stopped this month. I checked a pregnancy test, and it is negative. Is this serious?

A single missed period can occur due to stress or hormonal shift. If repeated, get hormonal tests and ultrasound.

Dr. Bhanu Suggests...

Take a FSH,LH & Prolactin, Serum Test or Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test

Question

My blood test report has shown some abnormal figures, but I neither consume alcohol nor smoke. What could be the possible cause of this? I have read that heavy workouts at the gym may also cause changes in liver enzymes. My LDH is 375 IU/L, and my TSH is 6.4 mIU/ml. Could you please clarify what this indicates? I am planning to repeat the test in a different lab before consulting a doctor. At present, I do not have any issues with my bowel movements, urine, or food intake. During this period, I was also taking Acutret 10 mg for 10 days, and the test was conducted while I was on this medication. Could this tablet have caused any side effects reflected in my report?

Question

Hi, my recent report shows that my TSH level is 0.32. I am taking Thyronorm 75 mcg daily in the morning, but my thyroid level is still low, and my weight continues to decrease. Could you please advise on what should be done next? Thank you.

Question

Lab report 22 Oct shows T3 is 1.99, T4 is 10.75, and TSH is 5.74. Can we proceed for pregnancy or do we need to cure thyroid first before pregnancy? Please prescribe medication. Is any other test necessary before pregnancy?
