Well, isn't that good advice - if you want to take an extra half a pill go ahead! Yikes. Usually, adjusments to levels are made in 12.5mcg increments (that is how the dosages of synthroid run), so it might be enough of a difference. If you take a higher dose, will you be able to get the doctor to test you to make sure you are at a good place?
Your instincts are right on. I have read the same info regarding pregnant women requiring additional thyroid medication. I can't remember what the target TSH is for pregnancy, but I have read it over on the doctor's forum from time to time.
I know it is almost impossible to get a post on the doctor forum, but it might be worth a try if you get a chance.
Hang in there, I think you are on the right track, now you just need to get your doctor there with you.
