Hi I am 12 weeks pregnant. (LMP: 29 Apr) (2nd pregnancy) I am a hypothyrodic patient (for past 6 years, my parents are also hypothyrodic) I was taking 75mcg thyronorm before this pregnancy. On 12-Apr, value of TSH was 3.32  uIu/ml On 02-jun, value of TSH was 7.7 uIu/ml Reference range for 1st trimester : 0.1-2.5 Endocrinologist had advised to take 100mcg on weekdays and 150mcg on weekends. Latest report (20 Jul) T3: 153. (reference range 60-200) T4: 12.2 (reference range 4.5-12) TSH: 2.99 (reference range 0.3-5.5) Reference range for 1st trimester : 0.1-2.5 Kindly advice what's the dosage that needs to be taken. Also let me know if any other information is required. Thanks.

HELLO MAM, IN PREGNANCY VALUE IS NOT IMPORTANT SO DOES HARDLY MATTERS. FOR THIS   IN  EVERY  TRIMESTER YOU HAVE TO CONSULT YOUR TREATING ENDOCRINOLOGIST AS WELL AS GYNECOLOGIST. SO AT PRESENT CONTINUE THE SAME DOSE AND RECONCILIATION IS ADVISABLE N BENEFICIAL. AS LOT OF PREGNANT WOMAN FACE THE BIZARRE PROBLEMS. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND  MY CONCERN. O.K BYE.
