I am 7 weeks pregnant and have tested for TSH @3.8 ( prior to pregnancy i was 0.6) I am on 100mg of levothyroxine. Although my level is within normal range by uk standards (0.5-5.5) I have read reports that state optimum TSH should be below 2.0 for a healthy pregnancy. I miscarried in Dec with a level of approx 6.4 and am concerned about my current pregnancy. How can I convince my GP to increase my levothyroxine if she refuses to as I am within her 'normal'range.
