If i have hoshimoto and i become pregnant does my med need to be adjusted?

Yes: If you truly have hashimoto's thyroid disease, confirmed on lab testing, then your dose should increase (typically 25%) when you are pregnant. Talk to your doctor about your option and follow him/her closely with lab work to confirm the dose is the correct dose.
