Dear ma'm, it is TSH 11, which is high. you have already started the treatment. so recheck your TSH and FT4, every month. and try to keep FT4 on higher side. and let me know your reports. I Q of the baby is affected by poorly controlled thyroid. but if you quickly correct the balance and maintain it through out pregnancy , there is no risk. regards!
