Thyroid 3.94 in pregnancy
I have hypothyroid and 4 weeks pregnant. I got my TSH checked yesterday, it came out to be 3.94. My gynaecologist said that it is okay. But my question is should I increase my dose (50 mcg) presently to 62.5? What should I do to take care of my thyroid? Can we increase our dose in between to maintain thyroid levels?

TSH in the first trimester should be less than 2.5
In my opinion the dose needs to be increased

Yes you need to increase your dose a little and get it checked after 6 weeks again for TSH value. Its better if tah is maintained below 2.5
