[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to your PCP about recommendations. You are not anemic. You are iron deficient. You can take oral iron. Your B12 is low normal. Would ask about a supplement for that as well. Did your Vit D get checked? That can make people fatigued when low. Are you nursing? Are you drinking enough liquid? Are you sleeping OK? Is your baby getting up a lot? Your TSH is normal. Your FT4 is low normal- that is also something to look at, especially post-partum. Talk to your PCP. Hang in there!! [/quote]

Umm Tsh and t4 were not listed on here...[/quote]

OP here. My doctor didn’t mention anything about my thyroid to me. But it looks like my numbers may be on the lower side of normal? Perhaps something to watch?

My T4: 0.9 ng/dL 
Normal range: 0.9-1.7 ng/dL

My TSH: 0.61 uIU/mL 
Normal range: 0.27 - 4.20 uIU/mL[/quote]

Your T4 is too low - it should be in the upper part of the range to feel normal. Your doctor should run an entire thyroid panel (Free T3, Free T4, and indicator for Hashimoto's). Sometimes there can be temporary thyroid disease after pregnancy that goes away - but I am not really knowledgeable about this. Do you have heavy periods that are causing the iron deficiency anemia? The cause could very well be thyroid. [/quote]
