Brief Answer:
Increase the dose

Detailed Answer:
Helli Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Yes it can cause problems to the baby as the thyroid levels in early pregnancy are very important.
You need to increase the dose to 100 ug after consulting your Gynae as it is a prescription drug.
In case you have any other question, I will be glad to answer.
Regards
Dr Manisha
