Hi, thanks for writing..
Repeat T3,T4 and TSH and alter the dose based on the values. May be you will require a higher dose. Continue all those tablets which your doctor prescribed. It does no harm but it supports your pregnancy. It has nothing to do with breast cancer. Dont worry about hair fall. It is due to hormonal changes. You cant take medication for hair growth now as it is not safe in pregnancy. Eat healthy and drink lots of fluid.. Hope I have answered your query. Good day.
