My thyroid test on August 26 showed TSH 4.06, and I started taking Thyronorm 50 mcg for four months. I rechecked my thyroid today and the results are TSH: 5.14 FT3: 2.58 FT4: 1.13 Should I continue the same dose, or is an adjustment needed? My fasting blood sugar is 94 mg/dL. Please advise.

Your TSH has slightly increased from 4.06 to 5.14 despite taking Thyronorm 50 mcg, while your FT3 and FT4 are within normal range. This may suggest a need for dose adjustment, but it is not urgent if you have no symptoms. It is best to discuss with your doctor whether to continue the same dose or adjust it based on your symptoms and repeat thyroid levels after 6 to 8 weeks. Your fasting blood sugar of 94 is normal.

I suffered from asymptomatic COVID-19 two months ago, and my test was negative after seven days. After that, I developed a thyroid problem 1.5 months ago. I have consulted my doctor and am taking all medicines regularly. I am a married woman for seven months, and we have been trying to conceive for one month, but I have not become pregnant. Please give me some advice?

Why are both my TSH and T4 levels high? I understand that a high TSH usually means hypothyroidism, so why is my T4 also high? Is this a serious problem? I am really worried. Please check my report and help me understand.
