Here’s a checklist of what you should consider carrying to your appointment: 1. Medical History - Previous Diagnoses: Bring any past diagnoses related to your thyroid or hormonal health. - Family History: Note any family history of thyroid disorders or other hormonal imbalances. 2. Current Medications - List of Medications: Write down all medications you are currently taking, including dosages and frequency. Don’t forget to include supplements and over-the-counter medications. - Medication Changes: Note any recent changes in your medications or any side effects you’ve experienced. 3. Lab Results - Recent Blood Tests: Bring copies of your recent lab results, particularly TSH, T3, and T4 levels. This will help your doctor assess your current thyroid function. - Hormonal Tests: If applicable, include results for AMH, FSH, and LH, especially if you’re dealing with PCOS or other hormonal issue
