What Does My Thyroid Report Indicate?
I am Suman 33 yrs. old, 5'1" height. I have one 5 yrs. old girl and we planned for 2nd baby and now I am 1 Month 20 days pregnant.
I am suffering from hypothyroidism after Ist pregnancy. I am taking 100 mcg Eltroxin 6 days/week as suggested by Endocrinologist.
I went for checkup and gynaecologist is suggesting 75 mcg OD in pregnancy. My thyroid report says serum T3 - 2.13 n mol/l; serum T4 - 13.1 microgram/dl; and serum TSH was 0.03 micro IU/ml. Kindly suggest me on this.
