Hello,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Thyroxine is not contraindicated in missed abortion.
You no need to withdraw in missed abortion.
You can continue to take thyroxine.
Because thyroxine is essential to maintain your mental as well as physical activity.
Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.

Hello,
Yes, you should continue thyroid medication and before planning to baby, its level should be normal. After that, maintenance dose is required throughout the pregnancy period.
In addition, you must take folic acid and vitamin supplements for at least 3 months in preconception period. Good luck.
