TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is an indicator used to assess thyroid function. The appropriate range of TSH levels for women trying to conceive may vary, but generally, a TSH level between 0.4-4.0 mIU/L is considered normal.
However, some experts believe that during pregnancy preparation, TSH levels should be more strictly controlled in a lower range, and it is usually recommended to maintain it below 2.5 mIU/L. This is because an overactive or overactive thyroid can negatively impact fertility and pregnancy health.
Therefore, if you are preparing for pregnancy or planning to become pregnant, it is recommended to consult a doctor or thyroid specialist to understand your specific situation and the TSH level range that is best for you. They can provide you with more detailed advice and guidance based on your thyroid function and personal health.
How much time is needed to prepare for pregnancy?
The time to prepare for pregnancy varies from person to person, but it is generally recommended to start preparing for pregnancy at least several months in advance. This is because women’s reproductive health and ovulation cycles take time to adjust, and men’s sperm quality also takes a while to improve. In addition, preparing for pregnancy also includes adjustments to healthy eating, lifestyle habits, and weight management, which all require a certain amount of time to adapt and improve. Therefore, it is recommended to prepare for pregnancy at least 3-6 months in advance.
