The international recommendation during pregnancy is TSH has to be less than 2.5 in 1st trimester and less than 3 in 2nd and 3rd. T3 and T4 levels have to be in the upper half of normal. So although your TFT is near normal for a non pregnant state your patient requires increase in
Thyronorm dosage because she is pregnant.
Consider increasing thyronorm dosage to 150mcg/d and repeat T3, T4 and TSH 6 weeks later. Medicine has to be taken in empty stomach early morning and there has to be a gap of at least 45 min between medicine and coffee, tea, breakfast etc. In addition there has to be a 4 hour gap between thyronorm and calcium tablets as well.
Nothing specific as for diet is concerned from thyroid point of view. She needs to cut down on cauliflower, cabbage, radish and soya bean -that's all. PCOD patients are at increased risk of diabetes during pregnancy- so avoid too much sweets, free sugars and junk food. Consume lot of XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.

You need to reduce your thyronorm dosage to 137 mcg/day. I think you did total T4 and total T3 last time and this time you have done Free T4 and Free T3. So comparison is difficult between them. Any way the TSh is suppressed which means you need to reduce the dosage. From now on check FreeT3, Free t4 and TSH to maintain uniformity.

Dear Doctor,

No problem at all. It only indicates that Thyroxine dosage is more than required. So i have reduced the dose. Thyroxine dosage needs frequent adjustment during pregnancy and so we check thyroid function tests frequently during pregnancy. There is no need for T3,T4,And TSH again.
