TSH level 6.3 at 4w2d pregnancy
I recently found that I am pregnant and my last period was 18th April. So i am around 4 weeks pregnant now. Earlier I had a miscarriage in October 2020. This is my second chance Beta hcg level on 16th May was 329. Also, TSH level is 6.3 (on 17th May) Earlier my TSH level was 3.1(on 21st April) Doctor prescribed eltroxin 50mg daily. Why suddenly my TSH increased in 4 weeks? Can TSH level adversely affect pregnancy? Thanks!!
