My TSH is slightly on higher side in the latest test. Im taking what doc prescribed but still worried it might affect baby. How do u keep it in range during these months?
Controlling TSH is so important during pregnancy, and even during my recovery I had to keep checking it. Please don't try self-treatment; a simple daily tablet prescribed by your doctor is the only safe way to manage it.
Managing your thyroid pills early morning when you have severe morning sickness is hard, but it's essential. Take the pill on an empty stomach as prescribed, and ask your doctor if you can take it at a different time if you keep throwing up.
Honestly, there is no shortcut or natural remedy to control TSH. You must see an endocrinologist or your gynac, get your blood tests done regularly, and take the prescribed dose daily.
Keeping your TSH in control is very easy with the right medicine, and it won't affect your chances of a normal delivery. Just stay positive, get tested every month, and follow your gynac's prescription.
I had to cut down on some foods like raw cabbage and soy when my TSH went high, but the main thing is taking the doctor's medicine. Once that's sorted, you can enjoy your other cravings guilt-free!
When my TSH level fluctuated, my mother made sure I took my medicine early in the morning without fail. Having that regular routine really helped keep my levels normal, so please consult your doctor for the right dose.
