What Causes TSH Level Of 6.5mIU/ml During Pregnancy? Does It Affect The Baby?
Hi Doctor. My wife is detected with a TSH level of 6.5 mIU/ml wherein the range for 1st trimester is 0.3-4.5 mIU/ml and she is in her 11th week of pregnancy. I have 3 questions if you can please clarify: 1. Is it Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism? 2. Is 6.5 at such an early stage be risky for the unborn baby or can medication make the situation under control? 3. She has just started her medication with Thyronorm 50. She is also a breast feeding mother. Will that affect the feeding baby?
