Hello Doctor, I am Sharmila, 25 years old. During my pregnancy, I had thyroid issues, and my doctor prescribed 50 mcg thyroid tablets. After delivery, I had my thyroid levels checked, and they have reduced. Should I continue taking the tablets, or can I stop them? I have attached my latest thyroid profile for your reference. Please advise

If TSH is normal now, consult your doctor before stopping medicine. Some may need long-term therapy.

Question

I was diagnosed with thyroid issues during pregnancy. I delivered in March, and one month later, my TSH was 6.32. My doctor advised me to continue Thyronorm for the next 3 months. Two days ago, I rechecked my thyroid, and my TSH has doubled. I am concerned about whether this will affect my baby, as I am breastfeeding. I have read that thyroid levels can affect a baby IQ, is this true?
