Hi, I did a thyroid test one month back and my TSH was 27.5. The doctor suggested taking 100 mcg tablet and repeating the TSH test after one month. I went for a retest after one month, and now my TSH is 0.6, which is normal. The doctor gave me 87.5 mcg tablet to continue for the next month. She told me that I can plan for a baby now. Should I continue the tablet even though my TSH is normal, and is it safe to plan for a baby now or should I wait for some more time?

Your thyroid level has normalized, which is great. If TSH remains under 2.5, it is safe to plan pregnancy. Continue 87.5 mcg dose and retest TSH every 4 to 6 weeks during pregnancy. Also check Anti TPO antibodies if not done before.

My wife is currently taking Thyronorm 75 mcg. Before conceiving, her TSH level was 3. Now, at 5 weeks pregnant, her latest TSH level is 4.73. The reference range for TSH in the first trimester is below 4.5. Could you please advise if this level is a concern and if any changes to her medication or treatment are needed?
