Is TSH Level 6.93uIU/ml During Pregnancy Harmful?
hi, I'm 13 weeks pregnant now, TSH at 5 weeks was 8.23 uIU/ml (N.R 0.27-4.2) then 11.62 uIU/ml at 9 weeks and 6.93 uIU/ml at 11 weeks. I'm taking Eltroxin 250 mc right now (before prg. I was taking 150 mc, after prg increased to 200 mc then to 250mc) . Another test will be done tomorrow. Are these levels will affect the foetus although increasing the dosage?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Increasing TSH levels are unlikely to affect the fetus if the dose of Eltroxin was increased timely.
I will suggest you to remain in close follow up with your OBGYN specialist to monitor your TSH and adjustment of the dose.
Hope you found the answer helpful .
Wishing you good health and.
