The dose of Thyroxine is also dependent on weight
For pregnancy the ideal TSH would be below 3.
Kindly increase the dose to 75mcg and consult gynecologist after 1 month.
High TSH is one of the reasons for miscarriage.
Wish you a speedy recovery 🙏
Next Steps
check TSH again after 3-4 weeks.
Health Tips
Tablet to be taken empty stomach. and

The dose of thyroxine needs to be adjusted to keep TSH under control preferably less than 2.5
Miscarriage can happen if TSH is not controlled.
Avoid self adjustments.
See an Endocrinologist with DM or DNB Endocrinology qualification for all thyroid problems.
Thyroid dosing adjustment needs expertise of Endocrinologist for better outcomes.
