Hi,
1. TSH rise is not related to the medications for IVF treatment
2. You need to step up your thyroxine dose to bring your TSH below 2.5 as it is the ideal TSH if you are planning for pregnancy.
If I were your treating physician I would have increased your thyroxine dose to 75 mcg and followed you up after 6 weeks with thyroid function tests.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
