Those on Synthroid/Levothyroxine

Crinita · March 2013

Have you had to adjust your dose since you have been pregnant? I have not had a blood test for this since I have been pregnant and it is making me nervous that things might have changed. Going to schedule an appt. with my regular Dr. for this tomorrow morning. 12 weeks just seemed to sneak up really fast!

I was under the care of an ednocrinologist with my first pregnancy. They did blood draws every month and adjusted my meds a few times. But I had also just been diagnosed 3 months earlier when I got pregnant so the dr hadn't found my correct dosage yet.

This is my second pregnancy on synyhroid. I was diagnosed in college and never had my dose changed. I was tested once at my initial appointment and once in my third trimester.

Thanks, that does make me feel a lot better. I am going to a midwife service now, I will ask about it at my upcoming appointment on Thursday then.

I am on it and have had my dosage changed twice. Once at five weeks and once at ten weeks. I go back to my endocrinologist in four weeks to have it checked again. However, some people still have their thyroid and that probably makes a difference. I had mi

This time around, my levels were checked right before I got pregnant, so my doctor has held off. I haven't noticed anything significant having to do with my thyroid since getting pregnant. We will check my levels at my next appointment in t

I'm on armour thyroid and also got my levels checked early, at 6 weeks and will get them checked again around 16 weeks but did not have my dosage adjusted after that first check.

I was diagnosed and started on thyroid meds at the start of my pregnancy. Just had my blood rechecked at 12 weeks have not heard back so thinking my levels were ok. The first time my ths level was 52 and I literally heard back the next day.

My last pregnancy they told me to take an extra pill twice a week, so 9 total pills weekly, when I went in for my first appointment at 8 weeks. This time I happened to have bloodwork done with my endocrinologist during my 2 week wait and my dose was adjus

Lilpoppy · March 2013

I've gone to my endocrinologist to have my blood tested a few times. She immediately upped my dose before she even saw me when I told her I was pregnant. Then after my blood work she upped it again. Now I'm at my right level it seems even tho she's teste

W DD, my levels were tested monthly, and I had monthly appts. They made four adjustments with my synthroid, as studies show preggo women may need about a 60 increase in synthroid during pregnancy. Plan is the same w this LO

I've been on levothyroxine for over 10 years. During my first pregnancy it was adjusted slightly towards the end of my pregnancy. This time no change so far. I was tested at 6 weeks and I believe I got back in a couple weeks.

Christine&Chris · March 2013

My endo knew I was TTC and told me to call as soon as a I had a HPT+. I had a blood draw and med change at 4.5 weeks, another at 8 and I go back at about 12.5 weeks. My levels have been changing quite a bit though...as soon as they seem stable my visits w

reneeandbill · April 2013

Yes, my dose had to be increased at 8 weeks. I'm not sure if it was a pregnancy related need though. My thyroid has always been real finickey. I don't think I've ever taken the same dose for more than 3 months in the 11yrs I've been taking it. But my doct
