We have been trying to conceive for the past 2 years, and both my wife and I feel very stressed and emotional about it. Below are our medical details: My report: Semen analysis is generally good: 66 percent normal sperms, liquefaction time 20 minutes, and very good volume and motility. I initially experienced quick ejaculation (less than a minute). After consulting a doctor and undergoing Doppler and transrectal scans, it was confirmed that I do not have premature ejaculation. My semen seems very liquid, which I feel may contribute to the quick ejaculation. Could this affect fertility? My wife report: She has thyroid issues, initially 10 mIU/L two years ago, now 4.5 mIU/L after taking 75 mcg Thyronorm. Her menstrual cycle is 25 days, lasting 2 days, one day normal flow, one day light. Her doctor suggested a complete abdominal study. Ultrasound revealed two right paraovarian cysts of 6 cm each. We both also have leucoderma and low vitamin D levels. Could you please advise on the next steps to improve our chances of conception and manage these health issues?

Liquid semen does not harm fertility unless liquefaction time more than 30 min. Thyroid and cysts need regular monitoring. Cyst greater than 5cm may need removal if symptomatic. Consider fertility consult.

Question

What is included in a full panel testing of thyroid?

I have been taking Thyronorm 12.5 mcg for two months. Due to severe tiredness and sleepy feeling, I repeated TSH and Free T4 tests. TSH is 8.02 (Ref 0.4 to 4.2) and Free T4 is 1.17 (Ref 0.89 to 1.76). Previously, Anti Tg Antibody was high and TPO was normal. I am having tingling in both palms and feet. Fasting blood sugar is 82. I am taking Concor 5 mg for hypertension. Do I require a dose revision or further consultation?

Question

I have had two miscarriages in a row and went through several tests afterward. In my recent report, my TSH level came back as 5.5. We are planning to try for pregnancy again, as it has been 6 months since my last miscarriage. Should I start taking thyroid medication to be on the safer side since my TSH is slightly higher than normal? Does a TSH of 5.5 affect ovulation and fertility? If I start the medicine, will it be unnecessary, or is it okay to take a low dose thyroid medicine?
