I am 7 months post-partum
and am
breastfeeding. I am working at a pretty stressful job part-time (veterinarian)
and probably not eating as much as I should. My TSH was actually high (10, unsure of the units) and fT4 was 0.97. My doctor could not feel a goiter. My doctor wants to start Synthroid, but I am worried that I will actually lose more weight if I do. Instead, should we be doing more investigation as to why the TSH is elevated? I was thinking a CBC, full blood panel, etc.
