12 years of UTI's: There is no link between your uti's your hypothyroidism (h). Have the doctor treating your h refer you to a urologist (u) to see if you have an obstruction causing your uti's. They are not due to your h. Good luck.

Question 7

prior to conceiving what specific tests need to be done for hypothyroidism/ hashimoto and what are desired levels? no links or talk to doctor pls

Accepted Answer

Free T4, TSH: I would order the above tests to make sure that your thyroid status is normal before and perhaps even during your pregnancy. I 'd doubt that you can order these tests yourself.

Question 8

diagnosed with thyroid disease at 9 years presented as hyperthyroidism and then converted to hypothyroidism. main concern is mood changes, have done lots of research nothing that links mood changes and thyroid disease. endocrinologist has never compromise

Accepted Answer

Thyroid and mood: Hyperthyroidism often causes anxiety.  Hypothyroidism can lead to several psychiatric problems, most commonly depression.  There can also be cognitive (thinking) impairment, and in severe (and rare) cases, psychosis.  Correcting the thyroid imbalance usually corrects the changes in mood and thinking.

Question 9

my tsh is around 3. fatigue, low energy. have pcos and insulin resistance. can  i be suffering from hypothyroidism? is there a link with metformin?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid: Most US laboratories will report a TSH of 3 as "normal," but most endocrinologists in 2014 consider normal or be under "roughly" 2.5 (dissenting opinions welcome.) It's so close you might get different opinions from different doctors whether this makes you hypothyroid or not, but it's a close call either way. There is no association between metformin and thyroid function.

Question 10

iron deficienct when pregnant 15yr ago. diag w/hypothyroid 2012. could i still b iron deficienct after all those yrs? can this b corrected naturally?

Accepted Answer

Why not get tested?: About 50% of pregnant women have iron deficiency due to the effects of pregnancy. That would not be relevant to you now 15 years later. If you are concerned about anemia there is a very simple office test that can determine this for you. Then you would be placed on an iron supplement.
