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.

A TSH of 10.6 is high and needs urgent management in pregnancy to avoid fetal harm. Levothyroxine may be prescribed, but only after full thyroid evaluation. Please repeat a Thyroid Profile with TPO antibodies before starting medication.

I had a total thyroidectomy surgery due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. It has now been almost 9 years. My recent test results are thyroglobulin less than 0.040 ng/ml, TgAB less than 10 IU/ml, free T4 20.82 pmol/L, and TSH 3.60. Is my report okay? I am currently taking 125 mcg Thyronorm. Do I need to increase the dose? Is my TSH high currently?

I took a thyroid test for the first time. My results are: T3: 120 T4: 9.2 TSH: 4.16 The report comments mention suggesting thyronormalcy. Are these values within the normal range? If not, what treatment or steps should I consider? I have attached my report for reference.

Hi, I recently had my thyroid stimulating hormone tested using ECLIA. The adult reference range is 0.3 to 5.5, and my TSH level is 5.69. I am 24 years old and underweight. Could you please help me understand the results of this thyroid test and if any treatment or further action is needed?
