Mr. lybrate-user, The recommended TSH levels through the pregnancy are 1st trimester 0.1 to 2mU/L, 2nd trimester 0.3 to 3 mU/L & 3 Rd trimester 0.3 to 3.1. If levels exceed above these, then fetal brain development & cognitive development is most likely to be affected. She has to increase the dose and see that TSH is below 3 mU/L. I am surprised how proper advise has not been given. Thanks.
