Hypothyroidism during pregnancy
I'm 8 week pregnant..my TSH is 6.19.. Doctor advised to take 100mcg of thyronorm. Last month I had 9.16 TSH and I was taking 50mcg. I'm really scared that it will impact my baby development. FT3 and FT4 are normal. Can you please advise?

During pregnancy the requirement of thyroxin goes up. You may need even higher doses to maintain TSH below 2.5
