2nd trimester - Am I being overtreated for hypothyroidism?

Question

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism around week 13 and started on levothyroxine 100mcg. I am now almost 17 weeks and my repeat TSH 0.12! That seems really low … can anyone else confirm whether that is too low or expected for second trimester? I am still waiting to hear back from my endocrinologist :( Getting worried I might be overtreated and thought about stopping the levothyroxine until I hear back but who knows when that will be !
Would appreciate any insight on this! So scared
Also want to add my T3/4 are normal though! So Im really confused

Answer

I’ve been back a forth on the doses, I’m currently at 150 but was just at 175 a day 
It just depends on your thyroid function 
You would rather have hyperthyroidism than hypothyroidism 
Don’t stop taking the medicine unless the doctor agrees with it too

Answer

Speak with your doctor about your concerns. Maybe even get a second opinion.

Answer

Yes that’s too low. They probably started you on 100 based off of whatever level your tsh came up. I would not completely stop taking it but maybe skip a day or two randomly. I was on 88 and my levels were around a 4 and for pregnancy you want to be around a 3 so they moved me to the 100. Your doctor will adjust your medicine. But you don’t need be worried just yet
