Lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. When hypothyroidism is very well controlled by maintaining TSH < 2mU/L, it is quite possible to get conception. Plus throughout the gestation it is essential to maintain TSH around 2 mU/L. That will ensure proper growth of fetus and desired outcome of pregnancy. It is necessary to check TSH every 4 weeks to see if desired level is maintained. There will be a need to increase the dosage of thyroxine by 12.5 to 25 mcg once conception occurs. Thanks.
