View allI'm pregnant and just found out my TSH level is 3.59. My gynecologist recommended starting thyroid medication, and I'm not sure if that's normal for this TSH level. Should I be worried or is this standard practice?
In pregnancy, it is recommended to maintain TSH levels below 2.5 for the health of both the mother and the baby. Since your TSH level is slightly elevated at 3.59, your gynecologist's recommendation to start thyroid medication is appropriate. The medication commonly prescribed for hypothyroidism during pregnancy is Levothyroxine. The typical starting dose for hypothyroidism in pregnancy is around 50-100 mcg per day, but the exact dosage will depend on your individual health situation. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and regularly monitor your TSH levels throughout your pregnancy.

I've been told I have a Vitamin D level of 12 ngml. I'm currently using Calcerol sachets as a supplement once each week. Is this the right choice, and how long should I continue with it?
Your Vitamin D level is low at 12 ngml. Taking Calcerol sachets once a week is a suitable supplement to increase your Vitamin D levels. You can continue taking Calcerol sachets once a week for at least 8-12 weeks to see an improvement in your Vitamin D levels. After that, your doctor may recommend a maintenance dose to keep your Vitamin D levels within the normal range.
