Hello. Whenever the tsh level is more than 10 than irrespective of t3 or t4 level, the condition is diagnosed as overt hypothyroidism. The dose of levo thyroxine for overt hypothyroidism in pregnancy is 1.6microgram per kg body weight. The dose may vary depending on the body weight but usually will be about 75 microgram for a lady of about 60 kg.
