Ups' & Down's of thyroid levels

[sai369]

Hello Doctor,
      Can you please tell me what is going with my thyroid levels. I am 26yrs old female planning for a baby but unsuccessful due to thyroid abnormality (Fast heart beat some times, Hair loss some times & Irregular periods). Below are my thyroid level reports.

Jan/2007 T4 Free - .78 &  TSH -     142.3
Feb/2007     ---                TSH -    > 150
Started taking 100mcg levoxyl from March as per Dr.

May/2007 T4 Free - 1.70 & TSH -  0.138
Taken 88mcg levoxyl from  May as per Dr.

Sep/2007  T4 Free -1.19 & TSH - 15.8
Taken 77mcg levoxyl from Sep

Nov/2007 T4 Free - 1.20 & TSH -7.32
Taken  77mcg levoxyl only.

Feb/2008 T4 Free - 1.35 & TSH -2.718.
Using 77 mcg levoxyl only. But I feel like my thyroids levels are raised now again because i can see Thyroid gland raised when i see in the mirror.

Can you pls tell me why my thyroid levels are fluctuating. I lost my hope that my thyroid will be cured & will have a healthy child. Thank you for your time!!.

Seems like the first dose was most on-target.  This is likely hashimotos -- would confirm with TPO/TG antibodies and keep TSH 0.3-2.0 when trying to conceive.

The trend in TSH is not unusual -- initially there was an over-response in TSH decrease possibly due to a recovery phase in silent thyroiditis but you have persistent hypothyroidism, need medication, and need close monitoring and TSH control w/ the pregnancy considerations.
