Did my thyroid test before planning and it came as 4.45. Doc hasnt said much yet but ive read it should be lower when ttc. Bit worried now. Anyone conceived with a similar level?
My gynac told me they prefer TSH on the lower side when planning, often under 2.5 before pregnancy. A reading a bit above may just need a tiny tablet to optimise it. Best to confirm with your doctor as targets are individual.
I am no expert but when I was trying, my doctor wanted my TSH a bit lower than that before conceiving. She started me on a small dose to bring it down. Please get your gynac or endocrinologist to advise on your number, dont go by mine.
My doctor liked to keep TSH under a certain level for conceiving and pregnancy, and that reading might need a small adjustment. With the right dose it is very manageable. Please show this report to your doctor and follow up regularly.
