Pregnancy thyroid

[georgey1]

Hi, I had a full thyroid test and the results were normal, I didn't realise but at the time I was 3 weeks pregnant do you think this could effect the results? Is it worth getting re tested after baby? Thanks

georgey 1,

Please get a print-out of your blood tests from the GP, with the ranges, we are entitled to them. Post them here for members to comment as sometimes 'normal' may only mean you are in the normal range. You have to be looked after better when you are pregnant and the thyroid gland is extremely important.

Hi Georgey

Congrats by the way!

How are you feeling? Are you already diagnosed with a thyroid problem... On treatment?

Hi thanks, no I'm not diagnosed or on med,

I'm feeling ok, I suffer with depression so I'm on sertraline, was looking into thyroid to see if there might be underlying issue, thanks

Your results look okish - your FT4/FT3 COULD be a little on the low side.

Keep an eye on how you are feeling and I would suggest regular testing throughout your pregnancy.
