Suggest Treatment For Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism

I recently had blood work done to monitor my thyroid levels (I have hashimotos hypothyroidism). I just got my blood work back and my TSH came back at 13, yet my T4 was within normal range. My doctor said to just stay on my current dose of Synthroid, and see what happens in another 6 weeks. What do you think should be done? I had a baby 6 months ago and every six weeks have been trying to get it regulated with no success. Thank you
