Is There Any Need Of Thyroid Medication If Trying To Get Pregnant?
I missed my periods and it generally never happens, when i visited a doc, she asked me to do a TSH test on the 2nd day of my medicine induced period and my result showed 7.6, when I did a repeat test after a week it showed 4.3 and another repeat test after a month it showed 4.5, do I need to take meds as I want to get pregnant and also what precautions do I need to take to keep my TSH normal. for the final test, I did a T3 and T4 test as well and that was within normal range. Pls. advice

Hello,
Do free T3 and T4 and start Thyroxine according to the results. Do serum prolactin as well then do follicular study after taking Clomiphene from day 2 till follicle size increases to 18 mm when ruptures then IUI for early results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
