Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.Low levels of calcium due to removal of thyroid hormone do not have any adverse effects on the fetus.
You should take the calcium supplementation in the form of tablets.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
