Brief Answer:
continue pregnancy, correct thyroid quickly.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX hi and welcome to HCM.
please continue with your pregnancy, you can have successful pregnancy if you control your thyroid.
Please make your dose 125 mcg from tomorrow and then make it 150 mcg after 7 days. repeat your TSH and FT4 after 4 -6 weks and get back to us.
Again i will insist do not abort, normal pregnancy and delivery is possible, with controlled thyroid.
dose will increase through out pregnancy and you will need frequent monitoring.
