Hi girls, any HYPOTHYROID expecting moms in the crowd? I'm a bit desperate for your advice... Been hypo before pregnancy and took my levothroxin pills (but it never really balanced my TSH). At about 5 weeks pregnant got tested and my TSH was a bit above 9. My doctor had increased my dosage and ended up tripling it by now. I'm almost at 18 weeks and my last TSH test showed 4.8 (it keeps jumping around 4.5 and going a bit up, despite the increase of my daily dosage. They also changed my prescription from Synthroid to a generic one about a month ago). Long story short they told me my TSH is high but I should just keep taking what I'm taking and repeat my blood test within a month.
I just feel it takes forever, each blood test is a month apart and not followed by any immediate adjustment. I'm concern that it can affect my developing baby...each day is sooo crucial and now I need to just wait a whole month knowing the thyroid issue is out of balance.
Can anybody share her hypothyroid management during the pregnancy?
