Hey, I just got my THS test results and it shows my thyroid level is at 0.06. Is that normal? I'm kind of worried because I'm pregnant and wondering if this level can affect my pregnancy. Also, any advice on how I might be able to improve it if it's not in the normal range? Would really appreciate some guidance here!
