thyroid: my tsh last week was 5.97, days later it was 3.93. all other numbers and antibodies are within normal (not optimal) range. on average my tsh has always been close to 4. could these numbers be related to a miscarriage i had last month?
tsh changes with stress. i would say that a tsh should be rechecked at least 6 weeks after any stressful time. see more...
Cholesterol is related to thyroid function with low thyroid function hypothyroidism giving high cholesterol and those with hyperfunction hyperthyrodism giving lowed cholesterol values.   

The TSH is elevated and abnormal indicating that free T4 and free T3 should be measured and if abnormally low and symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism present then meds can be started. If they are still normal then the condition is called subclinical hypothyroidism.   

  

As to the bilirubin, I would repeat the bilirubin in a non-fasting state. Some people with Gilberts syndrome have elevations in total bilirubin and normal direct bilirubins upon fasting which aggravated the total bilirubin. I would also look at your CBC closely for indications of a hemolytic anemia which would also account for indirect bilirubinemia (total bilirubin) such as what happens with certain medications or conditions.   

  

The AST/ALT, you don't give the upper limit of normal and so generally the values are referenced with regards to how how many times normal they are out. Those are low level abnormalities that can be due to many causes including medications, alcohol, fatty liver, chronic hepatitis and other possibilities. Low levels are usually repeated several weeks later to see if they are still there after looking at things that may contribute to the liver elevations.   

  

All of this must be taken within a clinical context. That means that lab values can be be understood without a valid clinical history and physical. You state known and so the comments above are general in nature and would defer to the doctor for a clearer picture and understanding pertaining to your case. you would need to tell me what medication you were given and what the gynae thought the cause for the irregular periods was.<br/>best wishes hi,
welcome to icliniq.com.
there are several factors that lead to irregular menses. weight loss or gain can also lead to irregular menses. i do not think you should worry too much about having a period after six days of finishing a normal period. in fact, your ovaries could be suppressed by birth control pills and have not returned back to normal function although you had normal menses. normally, it takes about three months for your ovaries to gain normal function after taking birth control for several years. unless you skipped 3 to 4 menses at a time i would not worry too much. if the amount is very low. it is normal. dont worry do check your bp regularly, if its normal no need to worry it'll come to normal after your delivery dear hi dear... yes it's quite normal and it takes time to get regular timings.. so don't worry. happy motherhood Hello Darmawati,



Thank you for using the HealthReplies.com service.



Normal women have regular menstrual cycles, usually 11-13 times a year, or approximately once a month, with cycles every 21-35 days, and menstruation for 3-7 days. If you have not had your period more than 35 days since your last period, then you have menstrual disorders / late.



However, irregular menstruation can be caused by many causes, and treatment for each cause is certainly different. In many cases, menstrual disorders do not require medication, but only lifestyle changes and stress management can improve the patient's menstrual patterns. In other cases, menstrual pattern disorders can only be corrected by operative measures, such as in pituitary tumors. Therefore, before taking menstrual medicine, you must first know the cause of your disease.



Some diseases or conditions that can cause menstrual cycle disorders, such as:



Stress Use of contraception Pregnancy Polycystic Syndrome Thyroid Disease Menopause Pituitary tumors In diseases that are hormonal disorders, therapeutic treatments in the form of hormonal medications can be given, but it is recommended only to be consumed on a doctor's prescription / recommendation. But in other diseases, hormonal therapy will not solve the problem, or even can cause new problems.



I advise you to check with a specialist obstetrics and gynecologist, so that a more complete examination, your condition known, and given more appropriate treatment.



What you can do now is:



Eating nutritious food Adequate rest Avoid stress Avoid alcohol and cigarettes Regular physical activity Thus, hopefully it can help. hi dear! its wonderful to knw that you have started planning fr a baby, as u hv mentioned ur periods r regular yes its important to hv regular cycle but apart from that thr r a few things which needs to considered like your health- its not only the woman health but the mans health too is important for a healthy baby , you need to ensure it by sticking to a good diet, maintaining a healthy diet. there are few food which boosts fertility like milk, cheese, yogurt, fatty fish, whole grains, eggs and loads of water and cut down on coffee, alcohol, processes food. secondly intercourse- it plays major role in planning a baby, you need to get intimate on the most fertile days of yours which is at your ovulation time, which is generally 11-16 days after your first day of your last period. keep yourself happy-healthy and without stress , enjoy a healthy conjugal life to welcome a healthy baby. all the best! i would get on some sort of birth control. this sounds like a hormone thing. your body is trying to regulate itself again and birth control would even out the hormones.
