Subclinical hypothyroidism

2017-07-19 10:18:11
I am a 32 year old woman. I have been recently diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism with TSH level of 5.42. My T3 and T4 levels are in normal range. My prolactin levels are also high - 97.5. I have been prescribed with 12.5mcg Eltroxin. Is this dosage sufficient considering that we are trying to concieve? Please help.

Check ur TSH level 2 months after u have started eltroxin. Plan ur pregnancy only after ur TSH level is between 1 and 3. Get anti-TPO antibody test. if positive, u may require eltroxin lifelong. Check ur TSH every monthly during entire pregnancy, u may need to increase the dose during pregnancy.
