A
TSH of 3 falls in the normal range, but for conceiving, doctors generally prefer it closer to 2.5 or lower, especially before starting IVF or IUI. Being on treatment already is a good sign, and your dose may just need a small adjustment to get there.
Next Steps
Ask your endocrinologist or gynaecologist to recheck your
TSH in about 6 weeks and fine-tune your
thyroid medicine before starting IVF or IUI. Well-controlled thyroid levels make both procedures safer and improve the chances of success.
Health Tips
Don't adjust your
thyroid medicine dose on your own. Once your
TSH is in the preferred range, your fertility specialist can guide you on the right timing for IVF or IUI.
