I have been taking thyroid medication since the age of 11 and have never missed a dose. I am now 23, and my menstrual cycles have always been regular. My TSH is currently below 1, and it has been maintained below 5 for several years. Will this affect my ability to get pregnant? Also, does this increase the risk of miscarriage?

Since your thyroid has been stable for years and your periods are regular, theres usually no major issue with fertility. Well managed thyroid typically does not increase the risk of miscarriage. The key is to monitor TSH before and during pregnancy and continue your medicine. With proper care, many women with thyroid disorders have healthy pregnancies.

Hello doctor my wife is 7 weeks pregnant and a bit worried. Her blood report shows TSH 4.83 and free T4 12.16. TSH seems a bit high and free T4 is normal. I have attached the blood report. Are there any serious issues and does this require any treatment?
