Could be better: Thyroid needs often change during pregnancy. I can't speak for your doctor- he/she may be satisfied, but if i was your doctor i would raise your dose as i would want your TSH below 2 and your T3 (liothyronine) and T4 above the lowest end of the normal range. I would check your free T3 (liothyronine) and increase your dose to get it into the upper half of the normal range, as free T3 (liothyronine) is the most clinically useful thyroid test.
