I heard from my doctor today regardin my blood work for my thyroid and she told me it came back at a 5.2. She said she considers "normal" up to a 5 so its only slightly above normal but recommended that I see a RE.
For the purposes of TTC, I was told that is a higher than preferred TSH (assuming you are referring to TSH here). My OBGYN and my RE wanted it below 2.5 while I was TTC, and below 2 while I was pregnant. My initial TSH level came back at 4.5, and my OBGYN put me on 50mg of levothyroxine daily. I continued levothyroxine through 2 years of IF treatments and all 9 months of pregnancy.
