I am suffering from hypothyroidism post pregnancy. My latest TSH level is 7.01. I am taking thyronorm 25mcg dosage per day. Is that dosage sufficient for treating this TSH level or should i take more dosage? FYI - i am breastfeeding my son.

If even after 25 dose and taking for 6 weeks your tsh level is 7, then increase in dose is required.

You have to check yours TSH level FT3 ,FT4 LEVEL every 3 months, according to reports you can modified dose of thyronorm. No need to increase the dose. You can continue breast feeding.

Could you please tell how much your TSH has changed after starting the medication? Accordingly the dosage can be decided.
