Should I continue Thyroid medicine?
Hi Doctor,
I need advice on the question below:
I was detected with underactive hypothyroidism during my 6th week of pregnancy. My doctor prescribed me Thyronorm 25 mg. I started taking the medicine
After the 1st trimester got completed, again I performed a thyroid test and the report came normal(without taking Thyroid medicine). Since then I am not taking Thyronorm.
Do I need to continue taking Thyroid medicine during my pregnancy (currently on 24 week)?

TSH values are different in various trimesters of pregnancy. Need to know what was your TSH value. Better to consult a physician before stopping the medicine.
