TSh Level Is 24 Suggested To Have Thyroxine. Will Taht Impact My Pregnancy?
Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The normal upper limit for TSH in pregnancy is 0.1- 2.5mIU/L.
The high TSH indicates that you are hypothyroid which means that the thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone.
It is possible that it can affect the baby but this would only occur if it is not treated appropriately.
The dose that you are being given should cause a decrease in the TSH and should improve the T4 and T3 levels (the thyroid hormones) within a few weeks, if the improvement is not significant your doctor may increase the dose. Persons respond differently to medication so there is no way to anticipate how much of an improvement will occur.
In addition to the thyroid hormone replacement, you may need to start iodine . The american thyroid association recommends that pregnant women is 250 mg a day.
Your doctor may suggest thyroid hormone test every 3 to 4 weeks during the first half of pregnancy and every 6 to 10 weeks after that.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

Hi
Thyroid antibodies can attack the thyroid gland and prevent it from releasing thyroid hormones, they may be the reason for your hypothyroidism ( low thyroid hormone level)
Your level of thyroid microsomal antibody is increased and is affecting the gland.
It is lucky that this was discovered early in pregnancy. It improves the chances that the baby will be fine once the level is corrected with the medication.
Once you take the medication and the level of thyroid hormone start to rise and stay within normal range then the baby should be ok.
please feel free to ask anything else

Thank you for your reply, Is Thyroxine 150mg is sufficient for treatment now, or need to increase the dosage.
Hi
You can start at this dose, your doctor will do a blood level in a few weeks to determine whether the dose is appropriate for you.
The only way to determine if it is enough is to check your response to it with a blood test because persons respond differently to medication. One dose may be adequate in one person but too high or low in someone else.
