Priya ji, Thanks for the query. Usually to notice the change in TSH levels after starting the treatment with levothyroxine it takes a minimum of 4 weeks. We usually advice patients to check TSH after 6 weeks. Ideal levels of TSH to be maintained are 3 to 4 mU/L in normal individual with treatment. During pregnancy TSH should be maintained <2.5 all through out the gestation period for normal growth of the baby as well for desired out come of pregnancy. Levothyroxine has to be taken in adequate dosage during pregnancy. Usually dosage needs to be increased by 12.5 to 25 mcg. Thanks
