Hello doc. im 38 year old healthy female, taking 25mcg thyronorm for the last three years, if i plan pregnancy how do i go about my dosage, is there any way of having only a male child, and what is the latest age to have a healthy child. Thanks. Warm regards.
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion there is no way to determine the gender of the fetus before pregnancy. It is all chromosome based and little is known how it happens. Mother contributes two X chromosomes and father X and Y chromosomes. If X from mother fuse with X of father it leads to XX female fetus. If X from mother fuse with Y of father it leads to XY male fetus. After the pregnancy is confirmed thyroid profile is done and dose is adjusted. According to it. The age more than 35 years is considered as elderly pregnant. Best regards... Chat Doctor.
