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
Before planning pregnancy TSH it should be less than 2.5
once you start taking the medicine the thyroid levels will become normal in 45 days
you have to continue taking the medicine all through your pregnancy
