Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
I would like to inform you that hypothyroidism will not affect the pregnancy outcome and your baby if it is treated correctly.
Before planning a pregnancy you should monitor closely the TSH level.
It should be under 2.5 mUi/ ml before trying to conceive.
During pregnancy you should check it every 4 weaks and adjust the dose according to it's level.
Wish you good health.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
