Hi Molly,

Your TSH levels are above the permissible levels for pregnancy. Thyrowel is just a health supplement ( containing Iron, calcium, vitamins etc).
You should be taking Thyroxine as well. It is very important now to keep your TSH levels < 2.5 . This is the time when your baby's brain develops and thyroid hormone is very important for that. Taking Thyroxine is absolutly safe in pregnancy. You may meet an endocrinologist for further advice.
