Levothyroxine dosage during pregnancy
I am in my 8 week and 6 days pregnancy and recently found out that a blood test from 2 weeks back (28/07) reported my TSH values to be 4.92. Is it bad? I don't have a history of hyperthyroidism before that. Thyroid values were normal in my blood test from April 2022. I have iron deficiency only. Value was 38 in April 2022.
Should I take Levothyroxine? At what dosage?
Should I take any supplements for iron?
