hello,
You prescribed clearly your condition but you didn't mention if you are planning any pregnancy at the moment.
When the TSH level is raised with normal Ft4 and Ft3 values you should start treatment only if you have signs or symptoms of hypothyroidism or if the patient is planning a pregnancy. You shouldn't try to get pregnant with high TSH level because it may cause problems to the baby.
I am opened for further questions.
