Told my thyroid was slightly elevated after 24 hour urine test, should I be worried?

Question

Was told my thyroid is a tad elevated after my 24 hour urine test was analyzed. Has anyone ever been told this before? Were you concerned? What did the doctors do for you?

Answer

Pregnancy can totally mess with your thyroid. I had thyroid cancer a few years ago and had half of mine removed. It's still working pretty well, but my doc has me on a prophylactic dosage of levothryoxine to ensure it stays within the normal levels. My SIL, who has no thyroid issues normally, also had to take levo during her pregnancies. It's pretty a pretty normal thing.
