A member asked:

I'm 5 weeks pregnant, i'm a hypothyroid patient and had a miscarriage 6 months before due to dis.now taking 100 mcg, from when should i increase dose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check level now: You should have your thyroid level (TSH) checked as soon as you know you are pregnant, and then every 2 months while pregnant. Adjustment to your thyroid dose will depend on the results. Most women need to take between 25 and 50% more thyroid hormone while pregnant.
