Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.
In my opinion, the TSH levels which you have mentioned are just above normal range. In such cases, a repeat thyroid evaluation including TSH, Free T3 and T4 levels should be done. After that, the drugs are started.
Your doctor has prescribed thyronorm.
I would like to tell you that it is safe in pregnancy and will not cause any birth defects in baby.
Hope this answers your query satisfactorily.
Feel free to ask further.
Take care.
Thanks
