My wife is 9 weeks pregnant. Doctor asked for thyroid check-up.
As per the 3rd Gen TSH Ultrasensitive Report, the observed value is 7.39 ( Biological Reference Interval: 0.35- 5.50 ulU/mL).
Is this normal? Does TSH levels increase during pregnancy? She doesn't have any history of thyroid issues.

Should be less than 2.5
Probably her thyroid levels were not checked in the recent past
No pregnancy is not the reason fr deranged thyroid
Yes thyroid levels may keep increasing in pregnancy as weight of patient increases n fetal requirement is added
Hence repeat tsh every 45 days n dose adjustment accordingly
