secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
He conducted a
TRH
test
and found a blunted response and diagnosed secondary hypothyrodism and I've been on levo ever since.

upping meds in pregnancy plus vitimins.
I went to my GP in very early pregnancy (4.5-5weeks) as had cramping and spotting, and also arranged bloods, as I knew I should be monitored as high risk with hashis/hypo. So on the 1st March my TSH was 0.13 mIU/L but after discovering I was pregnant and going for said bloods on the 18th March - I was

My Endocrinology appointment review no help! and my 1300 tpo just a small blip quote from endocrinologist (see my previous post)
My endo didn’t say anything to help I don’t have hypothyroidism and told her how unwell I am basically she doesn’t know what’s refused to help me and said she will repeat test in a few weeks . She didn’t care about the results of private bloods they mean notching and tpo doesn’t mean autoimmune thyroiditis

Thyroid Receptor Ab
Hi Just had an additional test back the endo requested ahead of initial apt. Thyroid Receptor Ab (TRAb?) which was middle range at < 1.5 iu/l. (Range:0 - 3.3 iu/l) Is this a Graves disease test? Otherwise High TSH, positive TPO, low nutrients. And inflammation markers up. Just wondered if this TRAb

HRT patches and Levothyroxine
hi everyone I am on 75mg of Levothyroxine and have also been taking Sertraline. This pushed my TSH levels open. Since stopping the Sertraline my levels have dropped but now I’m getting more hot flushes and aching joints and restless legs. My doctor had suggested HRT patches but I’m worried that these

How to raise nutrients up - Hypothyroid
This forum is fantastic - have learned so much in 24 hours! Thank you all who have helped so far. So with a possible Ord's Hashimoto issue, likely under-medicated levothyroxine (my starting dose should have been 90mg for my weight and symptoms, not 25mg to 50mg which is the guidance for over 65 age

Sinus issues & thyroid
Hi, my sinuses have flared up for no reason. I saw this could be linked to the thyroid. Anyone had this? Also, I’m on 50mg of Levothyroxine and just had my blood results back…. TSH 3.31 (that’s all they checked) and I’m told everything is normal and there’s no further action. However I’m not feeling

TSH is 5.2 for FET cycle any help? Or advice?
hi all I'm on a lot of estrogen 5 x a day vaginally and orally and my tsh is elevated. I have repeated this but not holding out hope. My transfer is due to be on Friday so looks like it may be cancelled. Any advice or one who has experienced this? What did the clinic do?

Medscape article: what's in a name? (brand vs genetic levothyroxine)
This made interesting reading and I've got mixed feelings after reading it. Certainly they are focused on TSH as a measurement of adequate levothyroxine replacement, which I think is dubious. However it contains some good explanations. They seem to be totally unaware that allergies and intolerances exist

thyroid issues and ivf
Hi I’ve recently had 2 unsuccessful fet’s, one was a BFN and the other stopped growing at around 5 weeks. I’ve had some bloods done recently and it appears that there’s some issues with my thyroid. (Undectable tsh and below range low t4). I know the big impact being hypothyroid can have on fertility

Small dose of levothyroxine - good or bad?
I had thyroiditis many years ago. Since then, my dose of levothyroxine (and for a while NDT) has varied. However, it has never been a high dose (I don't have any record of it going over 100mcg/day), it has been as low as 25mcg/day, but settled at just 37.5mcg/day (driven by me, based on combination of

TSH high level before transfer :(
Hi everyone, I have just discovered this group and decided to join as I need help to understand how thyroid levels work for IVF. I am on my two week wait after a frozen transfer (11 March) in Spain and asked for the clinic to test progesterone and thyroid levels two days before transfer (09 March)

I had a total thyroidectomy 20 years ago due to thyroid cancer, so my tsh levels are kept very low, usually 0.03 or sometimes even lower. As I have high cholesterol recently I was put on atorvastatin. Bloods were checked today and tsh has gone up to 2.75 though still in range. Could this be the

Newly diagnosed
Hello, Just yesterday I have been diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos hypothyroidism. Starting on a dose of levothyroxine 50mg once a day. As my TSH is only slight elevated I was just wondering what I can expect going forward in terms of dosage. I completely get that it will be different for everyone
