Got my thyroid report and the tsh number is confusing me. i have mild thyroid since before pregnancy. what range is considered ok now? will ask my gynac but wanted to know from u all first.
I had such bad nausea that I couldn't even swallow my daily thyroid pill properly in the morning! But keeping TSH under control (ideally below 2.5 in early weeks) is super important for baby's growth, so try taking it with a small sip of water.
Pregnancy mein thyroid thoda upar niche hona bilkul normal hai, haan. Usually, doctors first trimester mein TSH 2.5 ke niche hi rakhna chahte hain, toh tension mat lena agar doctor koi small tablet start karein.
I am planning my pregnancy right now and my doctor made me do a TSH test first. She said it's ideal to keep it under 2.5 before conceiving so there are no complications later on.
I remember checking my TSH reports constantly when I was pregnant, mine was around 3.2 in the first trimester. Don't worry, my doctor put me on a very mild pill and today my toddler is running around perfectly healthy and fine.
In pregnancy, the normal TSH range is lower than usual because of pregnancy hormones. Typically, the target is below 2.5 mIU/L in the first trimester and below 3.0 in the later months, but always let your doctor check the reports since different labs have slightly different ranges.
I can only share what my gynecologist told me. During my first trimester, my TSH jumped to 4.1, so she immediately started me on thyroid medication to bring it below 2.5, which she said was the safe limit for pregnancy.
Actually, yaar, pregnancy hormones play a total game with your thyroid. My TSH was slightly high in the second trimester, but my doc said keeping it around 2 or 3 is perfectly fine and manageable with simple daily pills.
