Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Yes TSH level varies with thyroid hormonal level in body. intake of eltroxin changes TSH level in body. You need to continue medication, As you are having symptoms favor to hypothyroidism.
In pregnancy need for eltroxin varies and need regular monitoring of TSH and dose adjustment accordingly.
Thyroid hormones in appropriate level are very essential for growing fetus, so continue medications.
hope this helps you.
