Hello. During pregnancy, the demand for thyroid hormone increases by approximately 30% over the non-pregnant state. It is important in pregnancy to keep the TSH value at least below 4 for good fetomaternal outcome. Tsh should be monitored throughout pregnancy at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks. You need to consult an endocrinologist and increase the dose.
