It's something she personally went thru. Too low/ high level affects your babies IQ, may cause you to lose the baby etc...and you need to adjust your meds as the pregnancy progresses and monitor closer than normal....not a time to try adding in 25mcg T3 then stopping etc<g>
BTW being a tad hyper will stop you getting much sleep, and one of reasons I did mention quickly getting some magnesium is that it IS a muscle relaxant (not strong unless taken by IV in large doses)...magnesium may help prevent/lessen those "thumpies" which one can get with overhigh FT3 (which luckily you didn't get)Best wishes, Jan
