Pl repeat the tsh test and check. You must take the medications consistently and not stop for periods. The tsh will come down when the hormones are within normal levels but if you stop medications thinking that the levels are normal, then it will go up again. The normalcy is only because you have taken appropriate dose of thyroid medicine.
