Hi, During my first pregnancy (2012, thyroid was detected and started using thyronorm 25 mg. Post delivery after 6 months or so we have stopped it on the doctor consultation. Again during 2nd pregnancy (2014) it was detected and had to use again thyronorm. This time I had used 75 mg as well and continued that till 6 months back. When we checked it was normal. So upon doctor consultation we stopped using and got it checked 2 days back and it is around 8.5 now. Could you please suggest?

Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. With TSH 8.5 mU/L, what are symptoms noticed? Usually up 9.9 mU/L, it is considered as subclinical and no treatment is given. However you have the earlier history of having hypothyroidism. Hence it is better to start thyroxine again in a lower dose of 25 to 50 mcg. Then check TSH again after 6 to 7 weeks. It is essential to maintain TSH around 3 to 4 mU/L. Thanks.
