I totally got confused about this during my first month and panicked when my TSH came high, thinking it meant a problem with the pregnancy! But my gynac reassured me that TSH just checks your thyroid health, which is easily managed with a small tablet. For pregnancy detection, you only need an hCG test.
Oh, TSH actually stands for thyroid stimulating hormone, it doesn't show if you are pregnant or not. But keeping it in control is so important because thyroid levels can affect your energy and cravings! Go get a urine test for pregnancy, and treat yourself to some hot jalebis while waiting!
When I had my booking appointment at the hospital, the coordinator explained that TSH is a routine screening for thyroid function, not a pregnancy test. If you are confused about your lab results, please call your hospital's resident doctor or senior nurse. They are always happy to explain the blood reports in detail.
Oh, I completely understand the confusion when looking at all these medical terms on blood reports! TSH is just for your thyroid, which is important for the baby's brain development but won't tell you if you are pregnant. Please don't worry, just do a normal home pregnancy test to get your answer!
No beta, TSH is for thyroid gland. If your thyroid is slightly high, you can drink coriander seed water in the morning, but do not ignore it. Go to the doctor and get a proper blood test to confirm your pregnancy and check thyroid both.
Haha, no! TSH is for your thyroid, not pregnancy. If it did, my thyroid reports would have saved me from buying a dozen Prega News kits. For pregnancy, only Beta hCG or a urine test counts, though your doctor will definitely monitor TSH to keep your baby's development on track.
