How much thyroid level can be dangerous?

Question

I am in my first trimester and my thyroid came out to be 3.4. She said that it is in the high side and thats what made me worried. Have you seen this before? What should i do?

Answer

That's not too high, so your dr may just watch it for now, or your dr may put you on a low dose pill to bring that number down (1-2 is pretty ideal for ttc/pregnancy-- 3ish is still normal for the average person). Either way you'll have periodic blood tests to keep an eye on it, as levels can shift due to pregnancy. I have been hypothyroid for years & had no issues my first pregnancy & none so far this pregnancy-- I'm on a relatively low dose of meds & have periodic blood tests.

Answer

At one point mine went to 5.3..... they were able to get it right back down. 
Being monitored is key. 
I have hypothyroidism and hashi- so I’m monitored and I get blood work done every 4 weeks during pregnancy

Answer

That no high it’s low . You have to see a endocrinology. To put you on meds.

Answer

Yes, it is high for pregnancy.  TSH is a hormone released by your brain to tell the thyroid to work. 
3.4 doesn't mean you have too much thyroid. It means your pituitary gland is releasing that much TSH to get your thyroid to keep "working". So it's actually LOW thyroid function, but high TSH. For pregnancy you want to be below 2.5
