TSH more than 2.5 is high in pregnancy. This should be treated to avoid risk to fetus. Please consult your OBGYN for levothyroxine.

Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

I recently had a medical checkup and found out that I have thyroid issues. What steps should I take now regarding treatment, tests, and lifestyle changes?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Please go through my report and help me find what problem I am facing. I am taking 37.5 mcg and my TSH was 6.25 last month. This report was done five days after my monthly cycle finished. Is it normal. Why unable to get pregnant. I have been trying for one year and have hypothyroidism for six months?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am on the fourth day of my period, but I am still feeling nauseous. I took a home pregnancy test, which was negative. I am experiencing extreme restlessness, high stress, and anxiety, and I am unable to sleep properly. Occasionally, I get chills. My mind keeps racing with unrealistic thoughts that I know cannot happen, but I cannot control them.
