Hello,
Good day.
What menstrual problem did you have? Did you check Free T4 ( FT4) or just TSH ?

Your TSH levels are high and taking that small dose of Thyronorm will not harm you. It is a perfectly safe drug. Please check your Free T4 ( Ft4) and Anti TPO and contact us again.

Your TSH is 8.04 while you are taking Thyronorm 25 mcg indicates that your Thyronorm dose has to be increased. When the thyroid fails to produce hormones, we may have to increase the dose of Thyronorm. Untill then TSH will remain elevated.
