Your TSH will just get higher and higher without it (and most pg women need 25% more levo than their normal amt while pg). I've read many stories of women having healthy babies even though their TSH was high. I think your doctor needs to check your thyroid antibody levels...your thyroid *could* be just fine and the problem could lie within your pituitary gland which is where the TSH comes from.
At least your FT4 is normal. The free or unbound portion (free T4 or FT4 and free T3 or FT3) more accurately represents what the body’s true thyroid hormone levels are. Levels of free hormone represent the active hormone available to react with cell receptors in the body.
Best wishes!
