Hi all, I’m scheduled to start stims on Wednesday. I had my TSH tested for anesthesia last week and both results came back on the higher end (5 and 7). I think I was slightly under the weather and stressed about egg freezing so that may have impacted my results as I have been tested regularly and have always had TSH in the 2-4 range. I was also tested for T3/T4 and both results were normal.

My nurse wrote me a prescription to start levothyroxine 75 mg to get my TSH back into range. I’m a bit nervous about this as I’ve heard this is a life long medication and I don’t want to be on it if not required. Has anyone been in a similar situation and been put on this medication just for egg freezing and then come off of it? Is that something that is possible? Preferably I would have liked to be retested in a months time to see if my TSH was back in line but was told I should start it before stims.
