I am 6 weeks pregrnant and my tsh has come as 3.5 in the report. Should i be taking thyronorm 12.5mg or not. I am confused because more tsh level is called hypothyroidism and so why should i take levothyroxine on top of it, would not it increase my TSH secretion?

Levothyrox is to reduce the tsh so that u don't go into hypothyroidism.  In pregnancy the cut off values are different. It is around 0.2 to 2.5/3. Hence taking 12.5mcg is a required.
