Hi all. I am new to this board. I just started taking Iodoral 2 days ago. I am hypothyroid and currently take 2 alternative doses of Synthroid. My question is I just found out that I am pregnant! I understand that the Iodine can have a detoxifying affect and possibly cause my TSH levels to rise at first. I know how important it is to have the TSH under control during pregnancy. I wonder if this will be ok knowing I'm only about 3 weeks pregnant? My goal was to minimize or eliminate the Synthroid before I got pregnant. My last TSH was 3.67 and my doc had wanted to up my dose a tad and that's when I started researching iodine.
My endo was ok with me taking Iodine but doesn't believe that it can make any difference in the TSH levels (her opinion, not mine).

This is a reply to # 1,973,859though one. I wouldnt hesitate to take Iodine in pregnancy, but I am unsure of the effect when taking Synthyroid, and the fact that you started Iodine just now.
I guesss what I would have done myself in the same situation was to low dose Iodine (12,5 mg daily)with 100 mcg of selenium methionine.
I would also take all companions that goes with iodine, like magnesium, real salt, vit B and C. These are very important during pregnancy. Maybe some zinc too, balanced to iron, if this is low. The latter two I would take low and steady, like 10-15 mg daily.
zinc, vit c prevents stretch marks
vit B prevents heart burn
magnesium may prevent preclampsia, leg cramps etc.
real salt for hydrating + for the amniotic fluid.
All these in addition to a good diet of course.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,973,874tough one is right. it would be bad to stop having started, but the synthroid is scary. and if its not working well, it probably never will. armour is the way to go. adjust while on iodine, not the other way around.
good advice, ginagirl.
