Hi,
* Your reports of Thyroid assay are within normal range WITH Thyronorm 100mg.
You need to continue the medicine through out pregnancy & also be in touch with an Endocrinologist- so as to check thyroid hormone is sufficiently available for fetal growth.
* The Riomet,must have been given to control PCOD & your weight.Though very rarely given in pregnancy,the drug can be given to control insulin resistance .
Studies with Riomet have not shown any side effect on fetus. So if prescribed by your doctor you can continue with it.
However,a second opinion of an Endocrinologist should be taken.
Thanks.
