I am 2.5 month pregnant. My weight is 55 before pregnancy and after it is 57 which is I think ok. After my blood test Dr. Said my tsh is 8.40 which could be less than 5. I dont have any symptoms of thyroid. But then also as prescribed by Dr. Thyroup 25 I took for two days. But I got loose motions (8 in a day) and fast heart beat. So I did nt take another dose. What should I do? should I wait for three months to complete and go another test. How does it harm my baby? please suggest. Urgently. I dont want to eat medicine please.
