TSH of 85 and 10 week pregnant

[soonmom2b]

I am 10 weeks pregnent with second baby and today my thyroid lab results [tsh] came out to be very high [85.4]. I had postpartum thyroid problem after first delivery which got back normal in 6 months. Now I am very concerned due to high TSH. Does any one had similar condition? Is this condition treatable and are the medication safe to take during pregnancy? Also we are worried about the fetus development. Do you think their is any risk? Thanks for sharing.

Hello .. welcome to the board ... you can also post on the Dr. to Patient forum .. I think the link is on the top of the board ??

You need to get your TSH between 1 and 2. TSH will go up during PG and maybe stabilize last tri. So you need to be monitored often. This is treatable and T4 meds. are safe for the baby.  High TSH can effect fetus/baby and/or cause miscarriage. How is the baby doing medically at this point.?  What does your doctor say?  Are you even being treated?

More extent questions should be taken up with your doctor.

Good Luck!
