I have hypothyroid since before and on medicine for it. Now that im pregnant im a bit worried how it changes in these months. Will discuss with gynac but curious what others went through.
Thyroid levels can fluctuate a lot in pregnancy, and it is very critical for the baby's early development. Please get your TSH tested immediately and consult your doctor for the proper dosage.
Pregnancy hormones often cause thyroid levels to shift. Doctors usually do a routine blood test in the first trimester and adjust medication to keep it in the safe range.
My TSH came out slightly high in my second trimester and the doctor started me on a low dose. Did anyone else experience this? I am feeling a bit anxious about it.
I had to take thyroid medication throughout my pregnancy and even while breastfeeding. It is very common, just make sure you get your blood tested regularly as suggested by your doctor.
Don't worry, many pregnant women face temporary thyroid fluctuations. It is completely manageable with a tiny daily pill, so just follow your gynecologist's advice.
