Hello and thank you for asking!
I can understand your concern regarding to your wife's health and pregnancy outcome.
The TSH level is high and it should be corrected by increasing the dose of levothyroxine.
The symptoms you described are not due to increase of the dose, so continue with 100 mcg and check the TSH after 4 weeks.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
