I've always tested slightly underactive on Thyroid blood tests. I believe that the normal range is a reading of say 3-5 and I register 5.25 (numbers may not be exact but you get the idea). I saw a specialist many years ago, who send they wouldn't even treat me with drugs until my reading was about 10 and that has been the end of it.
We had IVF and I am currently 18 weeks pregnant. As my reading was still out of range, I was given the lowest does of Thyroxine, during my treatment.
I have mentioned this at my booking appointment and again at my 16 week check up. Nobody was that bothered, although my midwife asked me to see a consultant at the hospital because I had IVF (no real reason why "they might just like to monitor you more closely", I am low risk on every other count-so that is another mystery) and that appointment isn't until 22 weeks.
Should I be demanding more tests with regard to my thyroid, or at this level it really isn't worth worrying about? Is this connected to my IVF? Any ideas or similar situations out there?
