I'm 19 and a half years old and I'm about 5 feet 7 inches tall. I'm really curious about any potential height growth I could expect by the time I'm 21, especially with exercise and a proper diet. I've heard some people talk about doing setups while sticking to a cart leg - is that something that's good or bad for height growth? Also, I've been told that I might only gain about half an inch to maybe 2 inches, but that's rare. Is there any truth to that? I just want to know what I can realistically expect.

I'm 31 and planning to conceive this year, but I've been told my TSH levels are too high for that, and I might need hormone pills. My Vitamin D is also low at 4.82 ngml. I've heard low Vitamin D can lead to high TSH. Should I start with Vitamin D supplements first? Would that help with the TSH levels, or should I focus on the TSH issue directly? What's your advice on navigating these levels when planning for pregnancy?

You can take injection. Uprise D3 6L once a week for 6 weeks. After that tab. D3 must 60k to be chewed once a week for 12 weeks.
