Thyroid during pregnancy &post pregnancy
Using 50mcg Thyronorm from 3 months (still using). 1 day before delivery got to know that I have thyroid 14 points. As per gynec suggestion using 50mcg Thyronorm after delivery (feb-15) to till today. Yesterday again tested and the thyroid value is 2. Lab technician said that it can't reduce that much in short period like 3 months. Is it true Doctor?
- I'm loosing weight so thought because of thyroid but it came to normal now.
- loosing weight- lab person said that I may have thyroid before pregnancy ( but I don't have) so during pregnancy it came to 14. Is it true?
Thank you Doctor.
