Do not worry and follow her instructions. But keep reviewing (go for regular health check up and blood tests including the thyroid profile) with your doctor. The dosage can only be adjusted only after the doctor sees consistent improvment. You should also become health conscious and follow a healthy and disciplined lifestyle. Read more from the internet. You can start with yoga after talking to an expert. Later you can add Homeopathy which can help in natural healing by supporting your immune system. You can contact me for a private consultation.

lybrate-user ji, Thanks for the query. TSH 45.75 mcg, shows uncontrolled hypothyroidism, needing adequate dosage of Levothyroxine. My suggestion is please check your TSH after 6 weeks of treatment, to see if there is reduction in TSH and to what extent. Ideally it should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, to be free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. Because based on the TSH levels there may be a need for dosage adjustment needed. Most often treatment for hypothyroidism has to go on for lifetime. So please do not abruptly stop it after 3 months. Breast feeding is not at all a problem with this treatment. If you have any other question or doubt, please do come back. Thanks.

It is very likely that your physician has started you on 100 mcg Dose as your TSH is really high. But I sincerely feel that you should not wait for 3 months but rather 3 weeks to get tested again. There is a possiblity that this dose mey be inadequate for you. Letting the promlem thrive for 3 months before we know about it - is really not recommended.

Dosage of Medicine is calculated based on your weight and T4/fT4 levels in blood. Mostly people whose weight is in the range of 60 kg to 80 kg are prescribed 100 microgram.
