What Should Be The TSH Level During Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Thu, 27 Mar 2014
Question: Hi Doctor, am on TTC since 2 years. Had thyriod tests. My TSH Level is 6.17 on 1st Feb 2014. I have been suggested to take Thyronorm 50 mcg with empty stomach in the morning.After the medication,TSH level came down to 2.4 by 19th March 2014.Is this a normal level to achieve pregnancy? Any additional care required on diet? I am suffering with severe neck pain from past few months whenever am stressed. Is it a symptom of Thyriod disorders? If yes, suggest or guide me on the medication. And I don't know this is something i can tell or not, but just wanted to clarify about it. I used to suffer uncomfortable in throat and get dry cough for an hour whenever I laugh loudly and whenever I cry more.I feel that my throat is sensitive.

Brief Answer: Still need to adjust the dose for pregnancy. Detailed Answer: Dear XXXX, Hi! TSH of 2.4 uIU/ml is otherwise normal. but for pregnancy you need more tight control. so you need to increase the dose to 75 mcg. neck pain can be because of muscle soreness due to hypothyroidism. you can take pregabaline 75mg/d, once a day at night. along with vitamin b12 and vitamin D. sore throat or dry throat can be due to thyroid imbalance again. so first make your dose 75 mcg, supplement vitaminb12 1500mcg, vitamin D 60,000IU, once a week, and calcium 500 mg /d. repeat your thyroid status after 6 weeks and let me know. Regards!
