Is Taking Thyronorm During Pregnancy Harmful?
Question: Hi, am 6 week pregnant and tsh is 11.6. I was put on thyronorm 75mcg. Will it harm pregnancy?
Brief Answer:
It is necessary for normal baby growth.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A high TSH level during pregnancy indicates a thyroid hormone deficiency. This hormone is necessary for the normal growth and development of the baby.
The thyroid supplement- Thyronorm that you have started is necessary for normal growth of the baby.
It will not harm the baby. It is best to get a repeat test of TSH levels done after 6 weeks and go for regular Gynecologist consultation.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
