Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1] congratulations for thinking about parenting.
2] Normal thyroid levels are needed for god physical and mental development of the baby.
3]TSH of 5.526, can be corrected with Thyronorm 25 mcg once in the morning on empty stomach. Do not eat anything for next 30 minutes.
4]I will suggest indulging in a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
Include plenty of fruits, salads, vegetables in the diet.
Have adequate water intake , say 8 – 10 glasses per day.
Avoid deep fried foods, bakery products, and refined sugars.
Start on FOLIC ACID, B12 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to have baby.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
