Hello and thank you for asking on HCM!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
During the pregnancy the dose of levothyroxine should be monitored closely, every 4 weeks, and the doses adjusted properly.
If the TSH level is maintained within the normal ranges, there is no risk for the pregnancy outcome and the baby formation.
PCOS may be a cause of infertility but once you are pregnant, it does not affect the outcome.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
