This should be very safe, the blood test lags behind the therapeutic effect of the medication, keep on the plan, and follow up as recommended.

What you described should be safe. In addition to taking your medication regularly, do see your doctor for scheduled antenatal visits. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
