Specializes in Endocrinology

No problem: Synthroid (thyroxine) is safe in pregnancy. Thyroid disease increases your risk of complications but if you treat the thyroid disease properly, there is no reason to expect anything bad will happen with the pregnancy. It's important to get it treated properly as thyroid hormones are very important to the development of the fetus.
