Hi all of you 😊

Should tsh be checked during periods or can be examined at any other time?

It's not normally considered but time of the cycle has a large effect frontiersin.org/articles/10... . The custom of taking tests every six weeks is not a good idea if the woman is regular and the blood test is alternatively taken at the beginning and mid-cycle. This demonstrates that too much reliance shouldn't be placed on TSH.
