Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion you have hypothyroidism and you need thyroid hormone supplement.Though you were on eltroxin already the requirements before and after the pregnancy vary.That is why even while on eltroxin the thyroid hormone level shooted up.So you need thyroid hormone adjustment by increasing the dose of eltroxin.Thyroid abnormalities are associated with miscarriages, intrauterine growth retardation etc.So consult your doctor for thyroid dose adjustment.
Dont worry with adequate supplementation it becomes normal.
