Thyroid during pregnancy
Hello doctor, I'm 11weeks pregnant now. No previous history of thyroid earlier. I got a TSH done and the results are 3.71. Do I need to take any medicine for this level? Or not required?

Hi there, don't worry, it's in the normal range. I suggest you take video consultation for nutrition and supplements during early pregnancy for healthy growth of baby.
