Thyroid and fertility
Am 31yrs female. My menstrual cycle is abnormal. Am bleeding twice a month. Sometimes thrice a month. Doctor adviced to take certain tests. Found that my TSH level is 5.81. T3 and T4 are normal. HbA1C, glucose fasting, prolactin and glucose-post prandial(2hrs) is normal.
Am planning to have a baby. Am worried whether this will affect my conception. Is this condition curable? If so, how long will it take to cure. Please advice.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
What you have is a hypothyroidism.
It's a inability of your thyroid gland to produce enough thyoid hormone.
So it will have to be supplemented.
Yes you will be able to get pregnant.
Consult a endocrinologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.
