A member asked:
Im going off birth control, lost 15 lbs., my tsh is 2.5. what do i need to do to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. hormones, supplements?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prenatal vitamins: A TSH of 2.5 is in the normal range. You might want to make a visit to your OB/GYN for pre-conceptual counseling to be sure your vaccines are up to date and discuss your full health history and anything you need to address before getting pregnant as well as ask any questions but there shouldn't be any hormones needed.Starting prenatal vitamins before conceiving decreases the risk of birth defects.
