Iodine and pregnancy

I'm thinking of getting pregnant in a few months. I've been on Iodine since the end of June. The highest dosage I reached was about 9 drops twice a day. I suspect I'm Iodine sufficient at this point. One of the reasons I say that I have been taking it routinely and just recently started forgetting to take it.I think my body isn't demanding it the way it was earlier.

Anyway, I've read that during pregnancy you should take two drops daily. I am wondering if I should continue to take my high dose which is 9 drops about once a day, or if I should taper down before I get pregnant. Any ideas? Tweet
