Patient's question:
Now I'm 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant. TSH is around 6.5. Tight either. Since finding out I was pregnant, I've been taking thyroid medication. The check-up yesterday revealed it had worsened, and the dosage needs to be increased to one tablet. Initially, I was taking half a tablet. Will it interfere with the baby?Doctor's answer:
Normal TSH values for adults: 2–10 mU/L. Your test result is within the normal range. Abnormal thyroid function also needs to be assessed based on T3 and T4 levels. There is no need to overworry. The endocrinology department has already taken your pregnancy into account while guiding your medication, and the drugs you take will not interfere with your baby's growth and development. The above advice is for the question "Is it a problem if TSH is around 6.5 during pregnancy at 13 weeks and 3 days?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
