Hello, thanks for the query. The query says marle & 24 years old. Then talks about pregnancy. Please clarify about whom are you asking the question? Tsh 12.705 mu/l is too high. Thyroid functions should have been checked before getting pregnant by this lady. Because tsh should be maintained around 2.5 mu/l or less even before getting conception. Higher values are not good for fetal development and for outcome of pregnancy. Please consult the gynecologist and endocrinologist for reducing the tsh. )r else come back with following details: age, weight, height, lipid profile, bp readings as there is a need to initiate treatment with levothyroxine immediately. In this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines, no drugs can be prescribed. I hope the seriousness of the situation is understood. Thanks.
