View allI'm really worried about my wife's thyroid levels. Her TSH level came back as 8, which seems high, but her FT3 and FT4 are normal. Does this mean she has hypothyroidism? I looked it up and found something about subclinical hypothyroidism and a test for antibodies. Should we consider doing that test? What would be the right treatment for this situation?
Based on the high TSH level and normal FT3 and FT4 levels, it is likely that your wife has subclinical hypothyroidism. The treatment for this condition typically involves taking Levothyroxine. The usual starting dose for Levothyroxine in adults with subclinical hypothyroidism is 25-50 mcg per day. It is important to follow up with regular blood tests to monitor thyroid function and adjust the dosage as needed.

I'm currently undergoing a follicular study, and today is day 13 my right ovary has follicles sized 25x20 and 24x19, while the left has 26x20 and 25x19.

Is it possible for both ovaries to rupture follicles this cycle, or does only one ovary typically release eggs per cycle? Could both ovaries rupture?

I've always felt like my hormones are low because I'm just never feeling healthy. With being a beta thalassemia minor, dealing with chronic back pain, low hemoglobin, weak bones, extra chest fat, and metabolic issues, it's a lot. Even a little extra oil or sugar messes with me, and I end up with painful acne. I often take doxycycline for that. Although I look healthy, I get tired too easily and have all the symptoms that come with low hormonal levels. I've noticed endocrinologists don't seem to know much about TRT. What do you think I should do?
-It sounds like you're dealing with a range of complex health issues, from low testosterone to chronic pain and metabolic concerns, which can really impact your quality of life. While your hormone levels may be normal in some tests, persistent symptoms li
