I took my last medication on 3rd July. After 11 days, my period has not started. I checked with a pregnancy test twice, and both were negative. What should I do next, and how many more days should I wait?

After stopping medication, periods can take up to 2 weeks to return. If your pregnancy tests are negative, it is unlikely you are pregnant. Wait for 1 more week. If periods do not start, consult your doctor for evaluation. You may need a Thyroid Profile and Pelvic Ultrasound if delays continue to rule out hormonal or PCOS related issues.

My wife is pregnant with a duration of one month and twenty four days. We consulted a gynecologist and did some blood and urine tests. In the test report my wife TSH shows 10.6 which is beyond the normal range of 2 to 4.68. We called the doctor and they said to please consult with the nearest physician for TSH treatment to start, but due to lockdown the nearest physician is not available. Please suggest any medicine for TSH control? I have attached the test report. Is there any further abnormality? Please do the needful. Thank you.

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.

During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues. Yesterday, I had a thyroid test done, and I have attached the report. Could you please advise whether I need to take medication, and if so, what dose would be appropriate?
