Can I keep taking my levothyroxine tablets while pregnant?

Question

As I'm very early in my pregnancy as I tested positive Monday but I'm don't sure if ita safe ? I'm gonna ask my doctor but it just came in my mind when I just took my tablet !!!

Answer

Yes!! Taking them during pregnancy is super important. Your ob should check your levels a few times through pregnancy too because you may need a med dose change during pregnancy. Super common for the levels to change with pregnancy.

Answer

Get your levels checked ASAP. Usually dose needs to be increased almost right away because the thyroid struggles to keep up with pregnancy

Answer

Of course you do! 
If anything now you will need more. Stopping it will lead to increased miscarriage risk!

Answer

YES. I went to doc straight away when I tested positive and she upped my dosage to 25% more per week.
