Thyroid dosage post pregnancy
I have hypothyroidism....I had a baby on 10 August... during pregnancy my thyroxine dosage was increased to 100mcg ... before pregnancy I was on 62.5 mcg dosage ...my tsh in 8 th of pregnancy was 1.6....
I want to know if I should decrease my thyroxine dosage now or should continue with my 100 mcg dosage as previously....
Do I need to take extra tsh dosage while breastfeeding too ??

You can reduce your dose now and then retest your S TSH after 6 weeks.
