Thyroid problems?

Question

Answer

Don’t worry... it’s good that they have found out. I’m on levothyroxine too... usually 75mg but the doc has upped it to 100mg for the duration of the pregnancy. If you’re only on 25mg then you must be borderline/normal otherwise. Make sure you take your tablet every day and avoid caffeine for a good 30/40 mins after you’ve taken it (caffeine can effect its absorption apparently) Best wishes to you ♥️ x

Answer

I have hypothyroidism and was on 125mcg. Got pregnant and miscarried so they put me on 137mcg because my levels were high. Pregnant again my tsh went to 9.6 and they upped my dosage to 176mcg. 
I’m very worried but confident that I am doing the best that I can.

Answer

I have Hypothyroidism. I was only on 75 mcg before I got pregnant with my first. once I got pregnant with him my levels shot up again so I got put on 112 mcg and I've been on that dose for the last few years. My levels are fine right now  I just found out I am pregnant with our second so we will see what they do this time around. My thyroid never caused any problems with my last pregnancy, my levels just kept rising.

Answer

I had hypothyroidism prior to pregnancy and had my dose increased to 188 mcg in my 4th week - I was on 125 prior to pregnancy. My TSH was 8.7 at 4 weeks, 1 day. 
Just remind yourself that you are doing everything you can for your baby by taking the pill - and have confidence that it’s getting monitored. If you prefer, you can ask for a referral to an endocrinologist specializing in thyroid disorders to handle your dosing for the remainder of your pregnancy.
