Hello,
Your reports clearly show that your current dose of thyroxine is insufficient:
TSH – 9.1 (high)
T4 – 5.5 (low-normal)
T3 – 1.3 (low)
For a breastfeeding mother, untreated or under-treated hypothyroidism often causes:
Postpartum hair fall
Fatigue
Mood changes
Slowed metabolism
Worsening
thyroid levels due to hormonal shifts after pregnancy
But the important point here is this:
Adjusting thyroxine dosage without understanding your weight, timing of medication,
calcium/iron interaction, and postpartum physiology can make the problem worse.
You are taking calcium + iron these can block thyroxine absorption if not spaced properly.
This alone can push TSH up even on a correct dose.
Before deciding a new dose, I need to evaluate:
Your body weight
Exact timing of thyroxine
When calcium/iron is taken
Feeding schedule
Postpartum hormonal pattern
Whether this is postpartum thyroiditis or permanent hypothyroidism
Each situation needs a very different correction plan, and dosing blindly is unsafe.
Next Step
A short, structured consultation is needed where I can understand your routine and adjust your dose correctly so that your TSH comes back in range and your hair fall also improves.
For personalised thyroid correction
You can message me privately on w.h.a.t.s.a.p.p – nine three two six zero two zero five three six for a detailed evaluation and safe dose adjustment.
This ensures your levels improve without affecting breastfeeding or your health.
