What Are The Adverse Effects Of Elevated TSH Levels During First Trimester Of Pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
increasing thyronorm is right.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion the optimumTSH level should be less than 2.5 during first trimester.
If the TSH is not under control the growth of the fetus might be impaired and chance of miscarriage might occur.
So as it is 8.43 the thyronorm dose should be increased .The doctor suggestion of increasing thyronorm is right.
Dont worry.The increase in dose will decrease the TSH level.
And the increased TSH might not affect your pregnancy as you are taking thyronorm but the dose was not sufficient.And increasing the dose might correct it.Repeat the TSH after 2 weeks to know if the dose is sufficient or not.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
