Has anyone ever had Subclinical Hypertyroidism during pregnancy? I was just diagnosed and am 15 weeks pregnant?

So now I am confused first off of what Subclinical Hyperthyroidism is and what it means during pregnancy.

Answers:

Subclinical hyperthyroidism is a condition where the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood is slightly lower than normal. The thyroid hormones help control your heart rate, growth and body temperature. Your OB may take blood (T4) frequently to monitor levels and just keep a closer eye on you and baby throughout the rest of your pregnancy.

All the best and congrats-
