I have been advised by my gynecologist to get a thyroid profile test and a serum prolactin test because my periods are not regular. I have also undergone a scan, which came out normal. I want to know if alcohol consumption will be detected in these tests.

No, alcohol is not detected in a thyroid profile or serum prolactin test. These tests are only used to check your hormone levels, especially since your periods are irregular. A normal scan is reassuring, and these tests will help your doctor decide if your hormones are playing a role. You can safely book and take the tests without worrying about alcohol being traced.

View allHi, I did a thyroid test one month back and my TSH was 27.5. The doctor suggested taking 100 mcg tablet and repeating the TSH test after one month. I went for a retest after one month, and now my TSH is 0.6, which is normal. The doctor gave me 87.5 mcg tablet to continue for the next month. She told me that I can plan for a baby now. Should I continue the tablet even though my TSH is normal, and is it safe to plan for a baby now or should I wait for some more time?

My T3 and T4 levels are normal, but my TSH is high. I have attached my report for your reference. I was previously taking Thyronorm 62.5 mcg, but I have stopped it recently. Should I continue taking it? Additionally, I would like to check my estrogen and progesterone levels.

I have had two miscarriages in a row and went through several tests afterward. In my recent report, my TSH level came back as 5.5. We are planning to try for pregnancy again, as it has been 6 months since my last miscarriage. Should I start taking thyroid medication to be on the safer side since my TSH is slightly higher than normal? Does a TSH of 5.5 affect ovulation and fertility? If I start the medicine, will it be unnecessary, or is it okay to take a low dose thyroid medicine?
