Does increasing thyroid medication dose impact pregnancy?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am pregnant seven days after the last period date. I am using 50 mg of thyroid tablet at present, and I did the thyroid test three days back due to a faint line UPT, and beta hCG is 306. The thyroid test result is that TSH is 8.3, and T3 and T4 are normal.

What can I do?
Is it possible to maintain the pregnancy by increasing the dosage of thyroid tablets and any ingestion taken for carrying the pregnancy?
Is there any Ayurveda medicine to reduce TSH?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Pregnancy is a crucial phase of life. First of all, do not self-medicate. An increase or decrease in medicine should be left to your doctor. Pregnancy with hypothyroidism can be maintained accurately under the supervision of a doctor.

At this point, do not try any other medicine or any home remedies. Just keep taking your thyroid medication regularly according to your physician's advice because fluctuating levels can affect the health of the mother and baby. Go for regular check-ups with your gynecologist and enjoy this phase.

I hope this helps.
