What if i miss my thyroid medicine during pregnancy?
I take my thyroid tablet every morning but yesterday i totally forgot it, realised only at night. Now im panicking if it affects the baby. Has this happened to anyone, what did ur doctor say?
I kept my thyroid tablet on empty stomach first thing and set a daily alarm, otherwise busy mornings made me forget. If u missed, take it when u remember on empty stomach, and ask doctor if u keep forgetting.
Thyroid levels really matter for the baby so please don't take this lightly. A single miss is not a disaster but inform ur doctor and keep ur next blood test on time. They may want to check ur levels.
I was on thyroid meds both pregnancies. If u miss one day don't panic, just take it next morning as usual, but don't make it a habit. Thyroid is important for baby's brain so try set a phone alarm. And do regular TSH checks like ur doc says.
I set a medicine reminder on my pregnancy app and never missed after that. If u do forget once, just resume normally and note it down to tell ur doctor at next visit.
Missing once won't ruin everything, just continue from next dose, don't double up. But thyroid medicine really needs to be consistent in pregnancy, so message ur endo or gynac and keep up ur monitoring.
