My tsh value came a little high in the first trimester blood work and now im worried reading random stuff online. First time pregnant so everything scares me honestly. Anyone had high tsh, what did your doctor say?
My gynac explained that during pregnancy they prefer TSH within a tighter range than usual, so they monitor it closely. If its high they adjust thyroid medication. Its a routine thing they manage, just keep up with the blood tests they ask.
My TSH was slightly off once and I panicked thinking the worst. But my doctor calmly adjusted things and the next test was fine. So if yours fluctuates dont spiral like I did, its quite manageable.
Yes TSH levels do matter, my doctor wanted mine in a certain range and tested it often. When it was off she adjusted my medicine. Regular thyroid checkups through pregnancy made everything smooth for me, please dont skip them.
