My thyroid level (TSH) is now high at 6.34 after I stopped my medication post-pregnancy; should I start taking my previous dose of Thyronorm 12.5mcg again?
It is very common for thyroid levels to fluctuate postpartum. Your TSH of 6.34 is mildly elevated, showing your body needs a little support. While restarting your Thyronorm (levothyroxine) at the 12.5 mcg dose is a logical starting point, I gently recommend consulting your doctor before resuming. Post-pregnancy, your hormone levels are shifting, and your doctor will want to ensure this dose is still the perfect match for you. They may also suggest rechecking your blood work in a few weeks to keep you feeling your absolute best.
