Am around 6 weeks pregnant. tsh level has been found at 40 ie. hypothyroidism. under medication as prescribed by gyno. is it safe for pregnancy?

Yes: You need to have hypothyroidism treated throughout pregnancy. The hormone levels may change so your doctor may check the TSH periodically and adjust your Synthroid (thyroxine).
