lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. The level of tsh has gone up compared to the lab's upper limit. However, please let me whether you have any symptoms related to the condition, which you might have experienced earlier? Secondly are you by any chance considering having a baby? Then there is a need to bring down the tsh with in the specified range. Ideally it should be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l to remain free from all the symptoms of hypothyroidism. To do that you may need to increase the dosage by 12.5 mcg from the existing one (62.5 mcg). Then again check tsh after 6 weeks to see if desired level is achieved. Thanks. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.

You could take 75 and 50 on alternate days or 62.5 daily and check your TSH in 2 months.
