My wife is now 9 weeks pregnant (we did IVF). Her TSH level at around 5 weeks was 3.9. She’s been on Levothyroxine .025 mg (25 mcg) for the past month, and her TSH level is now .50.
Is it ok for her to stay on the same dosage, or can TSH get too low?
Thanks!
It is probably harmless but your doctor should measure T3/T4 levels to make certainn they do not go too high!
Good luck!

Dr. Sher,
I had an embryo transfer euploid, BG5AA grade, High embryo score.
My day 11 beta hcg is 1100 U/ litre.
Is this a confirmation that I am pregnant?
Yes1!

Hi Dr. sher
So October 2 I found out that I was pregnant October 5 I went to my first OB appointment where they did a transvaginal ultrasound and there was no Visibility of the gestational sac and currently my hCG levels are 98 is this something I should be concerned about?
It is much too early for an US. This should be done at 6-7 weeks!

Hi Dr. Sher –
I had a transfer on Sept 12th and on Sept 27th received a positive HCG of 1122. October 4th US showed gestational sac and yolk sac and Dr said everything looks good but HCG 2657 and October 6th HCG 3139. Does this sound promising?
Yes indeed it does…Nesha!

Hi Dr Sher,
How can you tell if you have late implantation issues? With late implantation should the HCG test be deferred and progesterone continued for a few days later? Thanks so much in advance! You are such a strength of support
The rate of rise in hCG and ultimately an US at 6-7 weeks should be indicative!
