2 months pregnant and TSH 4.42 - Doctor says this is normal and won't investigate further or medicate. Should I be concerned for my baby

Do you already have a diagnosis of hypothyroidism or a history of a thyroid condition?

If not, is your TSH above range?

If so:

See btf-thyroid.org/projects/pr...

If you are pregnant and have a history of thyroid disease (even if you are not on treatment now) for example

•subclinical hypothyroidism

•thyroiditis

•radioactive iodine treatment

•thyroidectomy

•goitre

•positive thyroid antibodies

speak to your GP and arrange thyroid blood tests as soon as you have a positive pregnancy test.

If you have an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)

•If you are planning a pregnancy you should speak to your GP to arrange thyroid blood tests and ideally aim for a Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) level of less than 2.5mU/l at the time of conception

•It is recommended that your TSH should be less than 2.5mU/l in the first trimester of pregnancy and less than 3.0mU/l after that

•As soon as you know you are pregnant it is usually recommended that your levothyroxine is increased immediately by 25-50mcg daily. You should then contact your GP and arrange to have a thyroid blood test
