Hi,

The thyroid hormone dose has to be increased by around 20-30% during pregnancy. If you are taking the thyroid hormones (thyronorm) in empty stomach then it wont be affected by your ecospirin dose, unless you have severe gastritis which will decrease the thyronorm absorption.
I suggest you to consult a doctor and increase the thyroxine dose to bring your TSH below 2.5. The thyroid function tests should be done every month in pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your querry
