Can i conceive with tsh 5.99?

Question

My recent thyroid test showed a TSH level of 5.99. We are trying to conceive, and I'm worried if this level will affect my ability to get pregnant.

Harini Sen · Answer

Having PCOS and thyroid issues myself, I know it takes a bit of patience. Just get your levels monitored by your gynac because thyroid needs to be under 2.5 during pregnancy.

Ratna Oberoi · Answer

It's very common nowadays. Just take the thyroid tablet empty stomach in the morning as prescribed, and do a retest after a month.

Ashmita Karunakaran · Answer

Don't panic at all, TSH of 5.99 is very manageable. Just book an appointment with an endocrinologist or your gynac, get the right pill, and you are good to go.

Ilavenil Pradhan · Answer

Listen, 5.99 is just slightly high. Go to your doctor, they will prescribe a very small dose of thyroid medication, and you'll be fine.

Get a proper thyroid panel done from a good lab. It's a cheap test and managing it early avoids any complications or extra doctor visits later.

I know seeing thyroid reports can make you feel down, but don't worry. Many moms conceive with thyroid issues once it is managed with a simple pill daily.
