Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic .
I would suggest you to get your tsh repeat and adjust the dose of levothyroxine as needed.
Its not adviced to delay periods more then 45 days so I would suggest you to go for withdrawal bleeding.
You may consult your doctor and take progesterone for 5 days . After 3 to 4 days of stopping drug you will get periods .
Every time you are adviced to wait till 45 days if natural periods won't come then get urine pregnancy test done. If it is negative take progesterone. This you are adviced to do till you get your regular cycles.
Hope I have been helpful .
Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
