some questions…
Question:
Well, I went to see a Re for the first time on the 25th of June. I had just finished clomide a few days prior. She did the blood work up to see if I do indeed have PCOS ( I have every symptom and she said she was 100% I did at least have insulin resistance, although I have had a cyst removed back in 95) The test I got back so far say: TSH- 1.84, normal PROLACTIN – 3.3, normal Anyone know if those would show normal (that are not actually normal) because of the CLomide? Also, are they the low side of normal? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Love, Tonya

Hi Tonya, I keep all my test results and I suggest everyone do the same……….. According to my lab report (Labcorp) the normal range for TSH is 0.360 – 5.800 I really don’t know if Clomid changes the results, your best bet is to ask your doctor.

Hi. I don’t even know what Prolactin is, sorry, but I know about TSH. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone. Range for that is generally accepted as between less than 1 (.5 maybe? I’ve never been anywhere near low) and 4-6. Most doctors will start treating at 6. Many people don’t feel good until under 2. Some people feel better at almost 0. I started out at 7.5, and I’m down to 1.07 now, and feeling somewhat better, but there are other factors there. Anyway, if you don’t have hypothyroid symptoms, your level is probably good for you. I don’t believe Clomid affects that, but if TSH was off, the Clomid might not work. It’s hard to maintain pregnancy if you’re hypo, I think because of the low body temp, but also it will throw off other hormones. That’s probably why they check it. Jeni.
