Doctor: Hello,The goal for ultra TSH in pregnancy changes compared otherwise. So at twenty-four weeks, we expect ultra TSH to be less than three. In your case, it is 3.58 which minimally raised. In such cases, I advise patients to do an anti-TPO antibody blood test. Accordingly, decide the dose of thyronorm. Visit your physician he may increase your thyronorm dosage only for weekend dose.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Tejashree Bhor
