Hello,
I had a blood test for thyroid function this morning. The thing is I am 5.5 weeks pregnant and I did not want to risk not taking my 25mcg dose this morning due to previous miscarriages. So I took it 30 mins before the blood test was carried out as it was the usual time I take it every morning. I guess it is a good thing because it will tell me if the 25mcg is working?
How would it affect the results if it does?
Hidden I don't know the answer to your question but just wondering how you're feeling during your pregnancy? Xx
Getting on ok just the usual pregnancy symptoms. Each day just feels likes forever until you reach 12 weeks.
Unfortunately UK doctors won't adhere to Finnish guidelines... 
Orange, it won't affect the TSH result but might make the FT4 result look a little higher.
Hope you're doing ok too xx
Orangepie,
It takes 7-8 days to absorb a dose so taking your Levothyroxine dose a few hours later won't endanger your pregnancy. Taking it before your blood draw means you may get a higher FT4 reading while Levothyroxine is peaking in your blood stream.
I've been taking a dose every day for the past 4 weeks, so hopefully will see if it's worked to bring the TSH down...
Have you had your results back yet Hidden
1.73 TSH AND ft4 18.7.
Not sure if that's good for pregnancy, I'm thinking maybe increasing the dose a little. Calling the private specialist for a consultation.
Thanks for the response , I've been to the docs about uk guidelines.
