Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
Incomplete data: TSH level is NOT MENTIONED.
You seem to be suffering from HYPOTHYROIDISM (Less production of thyroid hormones).
Since the TSH level is not mentioned hence it is difficult to comment on the prescribed dose. But apparently the dose was reduced after the delivery.
Thyronorm is safe during lactation (breast feeding) as it has no harmful effects on the suckling infant.
Hope this answers your query.
