How should the dosage of levothyroxine be adjusted to maintain stable thyroid function for a patient currently taking 100 mcg with a TSH of 0.330 uIU/mL who plans to conceive next month?
Your current TSH of 0.330 uIU/mL is in a great range for conception, so you should continue your current dose of 100 mcg of levothyroxine for now. Once you get a positive pregnancy test, your body's demand for thyroid hormone will increase quickly, and your doctor will likely need to increase your dose. Please contact your physician as soon as you confirm you are pregnant so they can check your levels and adjust your medication safely to support you and your baby.
