My tsh came a little high in this trimester even though it was normal before pregnancy. Gynac said its common but i didnt get why exactly it goes up. Can someone explain in simple words?
I had elevated TSH in my 2nd month, but with proper medication and regular walks, my levels came back to normal and I had a smooth normal delivery. It's just a temporary hormonal imbalance because your body is adapting to the pregnancy. Stay active and positive, you got this!
My TSH shot up to 6 in my first trimester, and my doctor told me it happens because the baby relies entirely on the mother for thyroid hormones early on. I had to get my blood tested every 6 weeks to adjust my thyroxine dosage. Please keep a close track of your reports and consult your doctor regularly.
Listen dear, don't panic seeing a high TSH number on your report. The placenta produces hormones that change how your thyroid works, which sometimes causes a temporary rise in TSH. It's very easy to manage with a tiny daily tablet that your doctor will prescribe, so just follow their advice.
It's just because your body has to work twice as hard to produce thyroid hormones for both you and your baby, especially in the early months. When your thyroid gland can't cope with this extra load, the brain releases more TSH to push it. Don't worry, just get your medicine dose adjusted by your gynac and you'll be fine.
Thyroid issues are so common nowadays during pregnancy, even I got it! My mom said it's because of all the hormonal changes happening inside. Just take your morning empty-stomach tablet regularly and don't take any stress, everything will be perfectly fine.
