Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is the autoimmune disease (her immune system mistakenly attacks her own thyroid gland) so it difficult to recover. The important thing is to continue the thyroid medication given, but have to consult with the doctor as the doses differs from person to person. For the family planning the thyroid function test must be below upper boarder of normal range and the medication should be continued during pregnancy.

You have not mentioned the units of the thyroid hormone parameters is it within the reference range provided by the lab or not? Most of the patients of hasimoto thyroiditis patients are hypothyroid and need to take thyroid hormone replacement therapy. These may be needed for long time moreover lifetime and the dose need to be adjusted according to the hormone level in body. Being pregnant is okay but you need be maintain the normal thyroid hormone level before planning so. Consult the doctor before so. Hope this solves your problem.
