TSH 13 and pregnant

I just found out that I am hypothyroid with a TSH of 13.0, and am eight weeks pregnant. I began medication today. Does anyone have any idea if this has already affected my pregnancy? I had no idea there was even a possiblity of this as my first preg. was fine. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Doctors like to keep TSH levels around 1 or 2. You levels will change through out PG and meds might need adjustments. So be sure you go in for test on a regular bases.

As far as damage so far, I have no idea.

You might go to the doctor forum and ask Dr. Lupo at http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/120 or
at left of page almost top, under "Thyroid Disorders" in red click on "thyroid" it will take you to the forum.

Sorry can't be more help in your precious (babies) concerns.

Good luck and positive thinking.

I was hyperthyroid while pregnant and it made me freak out. But I had thyroid tests done once a month so meds could be adjusted and my baby is perfect.
