Hi Priyanka,
Good day.
What was the range given in the result?
Most likely you had given the blood for testing with in 4 hours of taking Thyronorm and hence an increased T4 value. Since your TSH and T3 are normal, please don't worry. Placenta will not allow all the Thyronorm to pass to baby. Next time please make sure that you give blood for Ft4 and TSH either before taking tablet or 4 hours after taking tablet
