Dr. Alex Stagnaro-Green says, "as soon as they get pregnant, I have my patients call me immediately to get thyroid function tests so that I can modify their dose as early as possible in the pregnancy. Bottom line is that as soon as a woman knows she is pregnant she should be tested and see her doctor."
Your thyroid functions differently with all the flucuations of hormones going on, so getting a blood test as soon as possible is important.
I called my endo last week on Thursday and got the blood test requisition on Friday, 5/24. Being Memorial Day weekend, I waited till today, 5/28, to get the test and we should have results in the next few days
