TSH levels at 5 and just found out I’m pregnant..? Super worried😟

I’m hopeful someone will have input about high TSH levels and pregnancy? LMP was 15 May, and I’m currently taking 50 mcg Levothyroxine. I found out my pregnancy result and my updated thyroid levels in a phone call from my primary care doctor right when offices were closing today. I wasn’t able to get a hold of my endocrinologist today due to the lateness of the confirmation call...really kicking myself for not calling him just in case. I’m thinking of increasing my dosage on my own tomorrow morning (I usually take them when I wake). I anticipate he will recommend I do so anyway.

I have to different prescription bottles of 50 mcg and 25 mcg currently, as I changed my medication recently. Thinking of upping my dose to 75. I’ll be calling him first thing tomorrow morning either way.

I’m freaking out quite a bit after doing a google search on high levels and pregnancy.

Thank you guys for reading all the way through, and any advice, hopefully.

Hope you all are well.

Hi, so sorry I didn’t see this message!Yes, all ended well. We had our daughter, she is doing wonderfully and is nearly 2 now. ♥️My levels did eventually get in a good range. It took some tweaking. I began taking 75 throughout the week, 100s on the weekend. It was so hard to be patient, but in the end, my levels ended up around 2.5, and thankfully our daughter is/was healthy and the pregnancy went well.
