Halp! I have a TSH of nearly 4 and recently got put on Synthroid by an endocrinologist. I was supposed to wait until my TSH was 2.5 to conceive but we just found out we are pregnant. 🙈 I’d love to hear experiences of others who had higher TSH once you conceived and how you dealt with it.

Congrats! Under 2.5 is preferable but 4 is not that high (my TSH was 7-8 when I first went on synthroid) and my body quickly adjusted to the synthroid, so hopefully your TSH will get the the optimal place quickly!

Once I started synthroid my TSH got regulated very quickly. Make sure your doctor tests in around 6 weeks, and your levels should be in the proper range

Yup! Get your thyroid retested and change dosage as needed. It'll be fine! Agree with poster above, 4 is not ideal but isn't in dangerously high territory (although obviously do what you can to get it lower safely).
