Get complete thyroid profile.

Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your reports but before giving my opinion I would like to see your complete thyroid profile means T3T4Tag.
In my opinion we can start thyronorm 25mcg daily.

In my opinion you should start with medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Sorry for the delay in my response.
I have gone through your attached report and in my opinion you should start with thyronorm tablet after consulting your treating doctor.
Though your antithyroid antibodies within normal limits but your TSH is on higher side.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck.

Brief Answer:
It may affect your baby.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
You are most welcome.
Thyroid hormone plays a very important role in mental growth of baby.
If TSH is high during initial weeks of pregnancy, it may affect foetal growt.
So it is better to get your second level ultrasound and triple marker test.
If test results are normal no need to worry.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck.
