Abstract

Subclinical Hypothyroidism in pregnancy and during conception has long been an area of controversy with little consensus on whether or not it should be treated. It is also an area in which the evidence base is gradually developing. This narrative review aims to summarise the research to date in this field and provide pragmatic recommendations for the Primary Care Physician when confronted with this scenario.

Key words: Subclinical Hypothyroidism, Conception, Pregnancy, Levothyroxine, Hypothyroidism.
