Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over three months and have already started checking my thyroid function. My TSH level was around 8, but after taking medication for about half a month, it returned to normal. I took the medication for another two weeks, and then the doctor asked me to stop taking it for two weeks before having a thorough check-up. The result showed it was around 7 again. Will this affect the baby? I'm so anxious. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. If your thyroid function is abnormal, you need to take medication to regulate it while pregnant, otherwise it can affect the growth and development of the fetus. Adjust your mindset and don't worry—there are medications that can be taken by pregnant women to regulate thyroid function. As long as you do this, your thyroid function can be adjusted back to normal levels, which won't interfere with the fetus. In your current situation, it's important to have regular follow-up tests. Wishing you health and happiness!The above advice is for the question "I've been pregnant for over three months and have started thorough thyroid function tests." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
