A member asked:
8.5 weeks pregnant. i've been on thyroid medicine for years but now i can't seem to stay awake for anything! could my thyroid change while pregnant?

Yes: Pregnancy typically requires you to increase the dose of thyroid medication, as your body requires more thyroid hormone while pregnant. You should have your level checked as soon as you know you are pregnant, and every few months during the pregnancy.
