Tsh related question.

[Adi1990]

Hi I am Aditya from India and my wife is 4 weeks pregnant. Just got the reports and the tsh level is 4.1. Is there anything to worry about here? Please help. Thanks!

What does your wife's doctor say? Is she diagnosed with a thyroid problem? Is she on any medications?

I just got the reports and I will be going to doctor tomorrow. But for now she is not on any sort of medication and there has not been any medical history is this regard.

A TSH of 4.1 may not be the optimum for pregnancy. But it's not good to go by TSH alone. Ideally the levels of FT4 and FT3 in the blood should also be measured to give a fuller picture. Also, if there is concern that the thyroid may be underactive, thyroid antibodies should be measured to see if there is an autoimmune issue involved.

See what the doctor says and come back to discuss it here if you need to.
