In my recent thyroid report, my T3 and T4 levels are within the permissible range, but my TSH level is very high at 12.43. I am feeling very tense. Could you please let me know if this is dangerous or not?

High TSH usually means hypothyroidism. It is treatable with thyroid medication. It is not dangerous if managed early. Consult your doctor for starting treatment.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a THYROID PEROXIDASE ANTIBODIES (ANTI MICROSOMAL ANTIBODIES) Test

Please go through my report and help me find what problem I am facing. I am taking 37.5 mcg and my TSH was 6.25 last month. This report was done five days after my monthly cycle finished. Is it normal. Why unable to get pregnant. I have been trying for one year and have hypothyroidism for six months?

I have been suffering from thyroid issues for the past 6 months. Recently, I was also diagnosed with PCOD, and I have gained significant weight. I am trying to conceive and would like guidance on how to manage these problems so that I can improve my chances of pregnancy

Hi, we are planning for a second baby. During my first pregnancy, my thyroid levels were under control. I would like to know what TSH level is ideal for conception. I had a checkup today, and my TSH is 3.11. Please advise
