I Have Thyroid And Anemia And I Want To Conceive. What Should I Do?
hi , i am 27 yr old female, married since 1 year, not children yet. my TSH level is 6.5. I got it cheked as i was having bleeding in between menses ( around 15 th day) for 2 months. also i had gained 4 kg in past one year. I have been anemic since childhood ( hb11 gm only), and have poor stamina. Does this mean i have hypothyroidism? Should i try exercise, diet changes or anyting else ..or wait for a while to re chek, before i start with thyroid medication. I also plan to concieve this year. Please suggest what can be done here.

You are in the sub clinical hypothyroidism range but u dont have features of the same, the weight gain is not significant enough.
However if u r planning to conceive u might have to but on a low dose of eltroxin because sub clinical hypothyroidism tends to become overt

hi,thanks for query.You are hypothyroid and needs medication for the same.Your TSH is surely high and you have take thyroid hormone supplements to get pregnant.Please get full thyroid profile done. Please get in touch with an endocrinologist and take medicines for this.Please make sure that you keep regular follow up with your doctor during pregnancy as the demand increase during pregnancy and you need adjustment of drug dosages.
Wishing you all the best.
