tsh is 22 and im 17weeks pregnant
by alopez13462, Sep 01, 2009 08:12PM
I have had graves disease but I had my thyroid removed in 06. I am going through my 2nd pregnancy and I'm in my 17th week. My doc did my regular blood test and my tsh was 22. I'm confused b/c I was on 125mg of levothroxine and my doc raised it to 200mg so my tsh level should have dropped but it just got higher. He informed me they would do another blood test and that high tsh levels during pregnancy can have birth defects with the baby. I'm afraid. He hasn't given me any assurance. I need advice. Why is my tsh so high?

I am confused as to why he raised it from 125 to 200. What was your TSH before? Why did he jump so high so fast?
