if you take my opinion then I would like to ascertain you that there is very little chance of harm to fetus,as you are on eltroxin and have not discontinued it ,however as your tsh levels are high you need to take it under control, also you need to do a fetal anomaly scan at 18 - 20 weeks to rule out congenital anomaly if any,and also don't discontinue your eltroxin,
