Brief Answer:
Start taking the hormone again

Detailed Answer:
Your TSH is fine but this value is only because you have been taking the hormone so don't stop it and rather start taking it again and try not to miss it.
It is good for the development of baby and taking the pregnancy to term.
All the best.
