Dosage Change??? (Top voted first)

I have been on 50 mcg of synthroid for a few months as I didnt know I even had a thyroid issue but this month after my labs were drawn they raised it to 88 mcg, what ate some factors that could affect it in such a way to increase it so much? My husband and I are trying to conceivr but nothing else has changed, no new meds, enviorment, etc. Plz help"!!

It's really just your body, it's normal for your thyroid hormone levels to fluctuate sometimes and for the med to need to be adjusted.

There are times they may lower it, or they may raise it, that's why they do the regular blood tests to check. There is no set dosage that always works for everyone, it's just something that needs to be constantly monitored and changed, as needed.

If you're trying to get pregnant, you should definitely take it and follow your doctor's instructions, because a thyroid issue can cause fertility problems.

Since they are hormones, they can be affected by other hormones, so any type of stress may cause a dip in them, just as it will in your progesterone levels. Even just worrying about wanting to get pregnant could be enough to have an effect.

Is there anything else I can help with?
