thyroid problem

Asked for Female, 32 years

I have started taking medication,50mcg Synthroid for my thyroid. The tests prior to taking medication indicated high TSH level starting at 4.5-5.2. There were no antibodies found. I want to have children, and I am worried about the effects on pregnancy due to this problem. 8 weeks and my TSH levels went down to 0.06 and FT4 to 1.8. Than my doctor decreased the medication to 25mcg and my tests showed 0.01 TSH and FT4 down to 1.5. I am very confused. please help

Dear Patient,

These are not confusing in fact very normal results. When thyroid levels are (FT4) increasing in your body, TSH WILL naturally decrease. Hormone levels fluctuate all the time so erratic readings are expected. Thyroid balance is essential to maintain pregnancy. However, thyroid issues are extremely common and with the help of a good endocrinologist and gynecologist, it's become extremely easy to have kids. Kindly, keep trying not to be regular with your meds and relax. Stressing delays the process.
