Specializes in Pediatrics

Hyperthyroidism: Normal TSH range in pregnancy is between 0.35 and 4.0mU/L. (regardless of time of day) If your TSH is 4.4mU/L it is above the normal range indicating Hyperthyroidism. Talk to your Dr about what your lab test values mean for your pregnancy and what treatment they would like to pursue.
