General & Family Physician 's  Response
No, this high TSH level will not affect your baby. So dont worry and be calm, happy and stressfree as you are in your pregnancy.
Your TSH level was transiently increased and it came down after medication so it will not have any effect. Meanwhile consume iodized salt, keep the salt packet closed and away from sunlight as air and sunlight reduces iodine level in it. Repeat the test for TSH after one month to know its level. Consult your Obstetrician if the levels are not adequate.
