Click on the various tabs on the left hand side that apply to you. You are probably most likely to be interested in the Management and Prescribing Information tabs. I would print out the bits that are relevant to you and take them with you to your doctor. You should make an appointment as soon as possible because you should have your levo dosage increased.
Undiagnosed and under medicated hypothyroidism are the risks for miscarriage. Your Levo should be increased by 50mcg ASAP and you should be referred to an endo. Bloods to be tested every 4 weeks.
Thankyou all so much for your replies and links...if my levels are still good will i need an immediate increase?
Also, i would love to jnow about nutri thyroid, i really want to keep takung them as i feel so well on them ..i have no idea how they work but they do!!!!
your gp should referer you to a combined ante natal / endocrine clinic as sometimes medication need tweeking during pregnancy. Hope all goes well. I am a Midwife and have safely delivered lots of women on thyroxine medication. good luck
You need an increase in your levo during pregnancy. If your GP doesn't know about this then ask him to refer you to either an obstetrician or, at a push, an endo! This is very important. Congratulations on your pregnancy! Barbaraj
