I know reading about thyroid during pregnancy can make you super anxious, I was in the same boat. But please breathe, as long as you take your daily empty-stomach pill, everything will be absolutely fine.

I just delivered my healthy baby boy last month and I had hypo thyroid throughout! My gynac just adjusted my thyronorm dose every month after a blood test, so it's very manageable.

Please monitor your TSH levels very closely right from the start. I learned the hard way how crucial thyroid balance is, so please never skip your blood tests and check with your doc.

With IVF, we had to monitor every single hormone, including thyroid, so closely. It can affect things if ignored, but with proper medication, you will have a very safe and beautiful journey.

Haan na, thyroid is very common nowadays during pregnancy, so don't worry. Bas time pe medicine khana mandatory hai, then all is well.

I am also planning to conceive soon and my TSH was a bit high. Does anyone know if we have to continue thyroid meds throughout the nine months?

Personally, I just took my prescribed thyroid pill every single morning without fail and got tested every 6 weeks. My pregnancy went really smoothly with no complications.
