Should I Continue Throxine Inspite Of Altered TSH Level?

default
Posted on Mon, 5 May 2014
Question: I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 2 months before my pregnancy in Feb 2012. I have been having thyronorm 25 to 100 from then till XXXXXXX 2013. I stopped taking it after that. I recently checked my TSH level and it comes to 4.6. As per that report, the acceptable range is 1.x to 6.x. But my understanding was that ideal TSH should be around 2.5 range. Is there something I should worry about? Free t3 and t4 also seemed to be in range.
