Tsh levels low in pregnancy?

Question

I don't know a lot on this. But my dr called and I have to go to an appointment for my low tsh levels. I haven't had this before in my previous pregnancies. So I'm actually nervous and scared at the same time. Have any ladies had this? How do they treat it? Will this affect my baby? And any information you ladies know I'll take it into consideration. I'm just scared and hope everything is going to be okay. Thank you

Answer

I also have this, happened in my first pregnancy as well. I was under consultant and put on medication. Jus waiting to see what is going to happen this to me X

Answer

My TSH has gone down to .5 since becoming pregnant. Before that it was at a steady 1.2 or so. They're just going to monitor it monthly for now to make sure I'm still producing it. I know of women who have hyperthyroidism while preggo & they are on safe meds to control it. Grave's disease is another concern but that can also be medicated. Try not to worry too much!! I'm sure your OB team will take care of you & baby :)

Answer

Your TSH should be low, if it's high then that could mean you are hypothyroid and that can cause problems. If it it is way too low - like none at all, then they may be worried that your pituitary gland is not creating enough TSH therefore you would not be making enough thyroid hormone - and again hypo. If you're hypo they will most likely put you on thyroid hormones and you and your baby should be fine.
