Thyroid during pregnancy

2025-10-25 09:09:17
Hello doctor, I'm 11weeks pregnant now. No previous history of thyroid earlier. I got a TSH done and the results are 3.71. Do I need to take any medicine for this level? Or not required?

Hi there, don't worry, it's in the normal range. I suggest you take video consultation for nutrition and supplements during early pregnancy for healthy growth of baby.

The TSH level should be below 2.5 in first trimester of pregnancy. You need medicine for the same. Consult endocrinologist please.
