I’m 5 weeks pregnant and my levels are TSH .62 and 13.5 - are these too high for early pregnancy? Should my meds be increased? Thanks

You have two results there. Presumably TSH is 0.62 but what is the 13.5?

I understand that for a successful pregnancy TSH should be below 2.5

Congratulations

Are you currently taking levothyroxine?

If yes, guidelines recommend increase in dose

Ask GP to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12 levels

What vitamin supplements are you currently taking
