Pregnant & Hypothyroid
by Lazmar, Jun 05, 2008 09:20AM
I conceived when my first daughter turned one. I had a miscarriage 7 weeks later. I was given a blood test and my tsh was 4.7 slightly hypothyroid. I was put on thyroid medication of 50mcg. A month ago my tsh was -.5, slightly hyper. I just found out I am pregnant and my doctor recommended increasing my dosage. She said the needs increase when becoming pregnant and most women become slightly hyper in the early stages of pregnancy any way. I am a little uneasy of increasing the medication. What if my body naturally becomes hyper and then becomes even more hyper with the medication? She said it doesn't affect the baby but I read it can. Please advise.
