Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Uncontrolled TSH levels can lead to fetal complications like intrauterine growth restriction and mental retardation. However, mental retardation is more common in the fetus if the mother has deranged TSH levels in the first trimester of pregnancy.
I suggest you not to worry and take the thyroxine in the dose in ehich it is prescribed.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
