Hi, I think the increase in dose is fine. You can give the test in any manner, with or without the medicine. Stopping the tablet for one day will not make any difference. In pregnancy, the cut off of TSH is taken as 2.5 to 3. So, generally dose needs to be increased. Get a thyroid level again after one month to see the effect of tablet. Get a thyroid profile done for your baby when born. Hope it helps.
