Thank you for contacting HCM After going to the history, the sex patient is not mentioned. But I think it must female. If I were your physician I would have re-emphasized to talk your medicine regularly and advised that you can plan your pregnancy as you are having normal thyroid function. And also to increase that dose to 200 mcg as soon as you know that you are pregnant and contact an Endocrinologist immediately.
