Question 1

I've been wondering if masturbating a lot could mess with my testosterone levels. I've been doing it around 23 times a day for the last five years, and I'm not seeing much facial hair growth. Could there be a connection?

Accepted Answer

it's normal

Question 2

I'm going through IVF because of a tubal blockage, but it's not working out. Weve done more tests, and they show poor blood flow to my uterus and a thin lining. I'm worried and wondering if there are other ways, like acupuncture or Ayurveda, that could help. What do you think?

Question 3

I'm wondering if it's safe to take thyronorm 50 mcg alongside folvite 5 mg, since we're planning to have a baby. My TSH was 5.7 but has come down to 4.97 after taking thyronorm and some homeopathy treatments. I'm really curious if this TSH level is okay for conceiving?

Accepted Answer

Taking Thyronorm 50 mcg (levothyroxine) with Folvite 5mg (folic acid) is generally safe, especially when planning for a baby. Folic acid is essential for fetal development during pregnancy.

_Thyroid Hormone Levels and Conception_

Your TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) levels have improved from 5.7 to 4.97 with Thyronorm 50 mcg and homeopathy treatment. A TSH level of 4.97 is still slightly elevated, but it's within the acceptable range for conception.

_American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines_

The ATA recommends the following TSH levels for women trying to conceive:

1. *TSH < 2.5*: Ideal for conception
2. *TSH 2.5-4.0*: Acceptable for conception, but may require closer monitoring
3. *TSH > 4.0*: May require adjustment of thyroid medication before conception

_In Your Case_

With a TSH level of 4.97, you may want to discuss the following with your doctor:

1. *Adjusting Thyronorm dosage*: To aim for a TSH level < 2.5
2. *Closer monitoring*: Regular TSH checks to ensure your levels remain within the acceptable range
3. *Folic acid supplementation*: Continue taking Folvite 5mg to support fetal development during pregnancy
