Although thyroid levels are important for conceiving and maintaining pregnancy, many other factors are also necessary. You should consult a gynaecologist with facilities for treating sterlity and continuous monitoring.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details mentioned. From the the "recently done" thyroid report it is clear that your current dosage is not adequate. When one is on adequate dosage of levothyroxine, tsh is maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l and t4 as well as t3 are within the normal range. That helps control all the symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Usually it is essential to check thyroid hormone levels whenever dosage is altered or symptoms of the condition (like tire...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. However, there is no mention about your recent or current thyroid hormone levels (t3, t4 & tsh). Usually if hypothyroidism is well controlled (t4 in normal range & tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l), then all the symptoms of that condition which include weight gain, lethargy, slow heart rate, anxiety, early fatigue, dry skin, dry hair etc. Are present. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to take adequate dosage of levothyroxine an and ke...more

Unlikely. You will have to take medicine regularly and test for its level every 3 - 6 months. Be under direct supervision of your doctor for any change.

Since tsh levels are too high dose of thyronorm is very low. Repeat test should be done after one month. You have not mentioned about actual present complaints.in view of high tsh levels you should consult a consulting physician - internal medicine or better still an endocrinologist for some other tests like antibody study and monitor periodically under their supervision.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Dry skin (xerosis cutis) can cause the skin on your face to peel, as can other health conditions, like eczema and psoriasis. Cold air, hot showers, and fluctuating humidity can cause peeling skin, especially in the winter. Skin that peels over a large portion of your body is called exfoliative dermatitis.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for yo...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
Madam, I have seen the details given. However, there is no mention of the dosage (mg per tablet), and importantly tsh, t4 & t3 values. Without knowing the vital information it is difficult to comment. However, usually antithyroid treatment (particularly tablets either carbimazole or propylthiouracil) is given up to 24 months. Beyond that if the condition does not improve, then other treatments are considered like radio active iodine ablstion or surgery. So please...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. I understand that you have long standing hypothyroidism and taking 75 mcg of levothyroxine. However, there is no information on the tsh, t4 & t3 levels, so it is not known whether the dosage is adequate or not. Secondly taking ajowan powder, there is absolutely no issue if you are feeling fine about it. Only point to be remembered is to take levothyroxine tablet first on empty stomach and then after 1 hour the powder can (should...more
