Article Synopsis
- New ideas about how to understand the thyroid show that there aren't strict "normal" levels, but rather a range that varies from person to person.
- It's better to look at free thyroxine levels instead of TSH levels to check thyroid health, especially during pregnancy.
- There's still a lot to learn about how thyroid issues can affect pregnancy, and doctors may need to change their guidelines for testing and treatment.
