Sir my wife is in last trimester. had a thyroid check.the report shows tsh3 level 8.520(high),ft3 and ft4 normal range.should medication be taken ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is very important to maintain normal thyroid levels during pregnancy for the health of the baby. The TSH should be around 2. She likely needs a higher dose than thyroxine 25 mcg.
