She took 100 microgram of medicine a day in the second half of the pregnancy, and after giving birth she returned to the previously used dose of 50 micrograms a day. She gained 8 kg in the last three months and had other symptoms which suggested underdosing.

Palpation: Both lobes were firm on palpation. No nodule could be palpated.

Laboratory data: TSH 9.88 mIU/L, FT4 7.61 pM/L on daily 50 microgram levothyroxine.
