As explained by doctor in the above answer you will need levels below 2.5 Since your levels are very high you need to check your levels every 6 weeks and adjust the dose accordingly to get to that level off TSH once you become pregnant check your levels again as pregnancy does affect your thyroid function
Next Steps
continue medications and follow up with your doctor at given time
