Hi,

If u are planning for pregnancy your TSH has to be below 2.5. That may be the reason why your doctor has prescribe you this medicines. The thyroid is only slightly under active, so you may probably can stop the medications after while.

The medication take 2-4 weeks to normalize your thyroid function test. Your doctor may a thyroid antibodies test to see if you have to take the medications over a longer period..

All the best

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

With warm regards,
