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 THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE (TSH) Test or Take a FREE T4 (FT4) Test

Question

Hi, my wife, aged 34, has not been feeling well for the last few weeks. She delivered a healthy baby in March 2020 by operation. Her symptoms include hyperacidity, low energy, headache, uneasiness, and occasional vertigo. Her blood test report shows: TSH 4.9, SGPT 68.96, SGOT 31.06, GGT 47.33, Hb 13.1, Platelet count 137. My queries are: how can we increase platelets? How can we get SGPT and SGOT to normal? Is there any connection with TSH? Thanks.

I had a missed miscarriage 3 months ago. I have attached my report. Will I need to take any medicine now as we have already started trying to conceive? My gynecologist says to take medicine for 2 months. Please suggest?
