Can you still have PCOS even if your periods are regular? Is there a risk of infertility in this situation? Should I be taking any medication for my acne? My DHT levels are normal, but my ultrasound shows bilateral polycystic ovaries. Is this different from PCOS? I'm worried about starting cytomid because of its side effects and considering I don't even have high DHT. Can you help me with these concerns about medication and PCO?

View allI'm really worried about my wife who's 15 days pregnant. Her TSH level is at 4.59 and I'm not sure if that's normal during pregnancy. If she starts taking medicine for it, could there be any negative effects after the pregnancy? Could you please advise on what's best for her health?
Your wife's TSH level of 4.59 is slightly elevated, but during pregnancy, the normal TSH range is wider due to hormonal changes. For pregnant women, the normal TSH range is: First trimester: 0.3-4.5 mIUL, Second trimester: 0.5-4.6 mIUL, and Third trimester: 0.8-5.2 mIUL. However, some studies recommend that the upper limit for TSH during pregnancy should be 2.5 mIUL
