I have been suffering from hypothyroidism for the last three years and infertility. I was taking levothyroxine 50 mcg daily, but recently I have been feeling low energy, gaining weight, experiencing hair thinning and hair fall, and my periods have become shorter with less bleeding than before. My gynecologist advised reducing the dose to 50 mcg, but my new report also shows a low TSH level. Please see my report. What should I do further? Is this something very problematic? Please advise.

Your symptoms could be from thyroid dose imbalance. TSH level helps determine whether dose needs change. Please do not stop or reduce without advice.

Respected Sir, I am a 36 year old lady. I was pregnant last year and delivered by caesarean and got a baby girl as I lost my 6 year old boy earlier. I have another girl of 11 years old. Now after 5 months my period has not started. I tested and my TSH level is 14 while T3 and T4 are normal. During my pregnancy I took 50 mg tablet thyroxine. I am attaching my report. Please suggest me how much mg I should take now? I want to be pregnant again so please suggest me as I am in urgent need. My TSH is 14.03, T3 is 1.03, and T4 is 7.81?

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?

Hello Doctor, I am 30 years old and recently had thyroid tests done, which showed TT3: 114, TT4: 9, and TSH: 33. I have not had my periods yet, my last period was in July, and a urine pregnancy test in August was negative. What should I do next?
