Is TSH level 6.93uIU/ml during pregnancy harmful?
Patient: hi, I'm 13 weeks pregnant now, TSH at 5 weeks was 8.23 uIU/ml (N.R 0.27-4.2) then 11.62 uIU/ml at 9 weeks and 6.93 uIU/ml at 11 weeks. I'm taking Eltroxin 250 mc right now (before prg. I was taking 150 mc, after prg increased to 200 mc then to 250mc) . Another test will be done tomorrow. Are these levels will affect the foetus although increasing the dosage? Doctor: Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.Increasing TSH levels are unlikely to affect the fetus if the dose of Eltroxin was increased timely.I will suggest you to remain in close follow up with your OBGYN specialist to monitor your TSH and  adjustment of the dose.Hope you found the answer helpful .Wishing you good health and.Dr Deepti Verma
