Was my medication changed too late in baby’s development

I was diagnosed hypothyroidism 10 years ago and went to the obgyn for my first appointment at 8 weeks and couldnt get my results ot increase my medication until about 9 week. Was this too late to increase my meds in the first trimester? Nothing online has been helpful. My doc said my thyroid was not off enough to cause an impact but I’m worried she just doesn’t want to stress me out. The endocrinologist raised me from 50mcgs to 75

My thyroid level was low too and picked up around the same time. I was very worried too and my pregnancy was managed by a consultant as a result. They said low thyroid levels can lead to a small baby or premature birth. I had my dosage increased from 100 to 150. My son was overdue and weighed 9lbs. So the opposite. I wouldn’t worry about it. Just make sure they do regular blood checks. X
