Hi, I am 9 weeks pregnant and I have been taking synthroid for a long time and it is controlled, I am only seeing my maternity doctor at 10 weeks and 6 days
Since I was followed in fertility the tech told me to double my synthroid only weekend until I see my doctor. Is this normal?

Good morning, ma'am,
Indeed, when a woman learns of her pregnancy, her dose of Synthroid is immediately increased. An imminent follow-up will confirm this. Having said this, I strongly recommend that you notify your pharmacist in order to help him/her ensure adequate follow-up.
