What Causes Headaches And Hair Fall While On Levothyroxine During Pregnancy?

I am pregnant with baby number 3 and my dose of Levothyroxine was 200mcg but I was having side effects like headaches, hair felling out and just not feeling like myself. I stopped taking them. I was off of them for 2 weeks and felt so much better. When I went to see my OB she put me on 150mcg and all my symptoms are back. What can I do? Is the dose she is giving me to high?
