Increased Hypothyroid during Pregnancy
I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with history of hypothyroid since 2004 and was on Eltroxin 100mcg medicine. In the first trimester my thyroid level was normal. But when i got it checked on 12-Aug evening (25th week of pregnancy) it was 5.39, so my gynaecologist increase my medicine Eltroxin to 125mcg and now the TSH has further increased 6.28 (as of 30th aug morning ) and I am still taking eltroxin 125mcg. Will this affect my pregnancy? What steps needs to be taken now?

Wait for 1 month and do the test. Medicine will take time to adjust in the body. Continue the same dosage as prescribed by Gynaecologist
