Thyroid hormone is very important to the developing baby especially in the first 3-4 months when brain and other organs are forming. Your TSH report shows that it's not in optimal control...you need to increase the dose..and it's best done by consulting directly which will help in understanding the appropriate dose based on clinical examination as you are already on 150 mcg. i advice you to consult at the earliest.

Next Steps

also thyroid dose requirements usually increase with advancing pregnancy...so regular follow ups will ensure optimal control.
