A member asked:

At 8 weeks pregnant my t4 levels are slightly elevated at 13.1. recently i had symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum as well. is this high enough to treat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NORMAL!!: T4 should be between 12-15 in pregnancy! do not let anyone treat that! HCG stimulates thyroid to increase production since thyroid is most important hormone in early pregnancy for fetus. After 13 w baby makes own thyroid. The best indicator of healthy thyroid level in pregnancy is t4. 12-15 and TSH < 2.5.
