Do it thyroid test firstly, and after the thyroid level detection consult your gynec, she will decide wether tablet is needed or not. And increase thyroid level may gets effected to your child. So tablet is must if level is increased.

lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. Madam I have seen the details mentioned. For your information tsh level should be as follows during gestation period 1) 1st trimester: 0.1 o 2.5 mu/l 2) 2nd trimester 0.2 to 3.0 mu/l 3) 3rd trimester 0.3 to 3.0 mu/l. So it is essential to maintain tsh aroind 2 mu/l through out the 9 months period for better growth of the fetus and for desired outcome of the pregnancy, plus through the 9 month period it is essential to check thyroid profile every 4 weeks. I hope things are clear. Plus the dosage of levothyroxine usually needs to be increased during this period. So please get tsh tested and come back. Or consult a specialist in your place. Thanks.
