I was diagnosed before pregnancy. I’m only given thyroxin to be taken everyday. Dosages may increase over time esp if you got pregnant. To keep the tsh levels within range. There hasn’t been any side effects for me. Currently 21weeks. Baby is growing well and healthy. Went for detailed scan at 19weeks.
