I have thyroid since 2015 and I am taking thyroid supplement 50 mcg regularly since 2015 Suddenly since February 2018 my TSH has shown increase fro. 2.37 reading to 5.46. I am 36 year old right now and planning to conceive while my gynaecologist has asked me to increase the thyroid supplement dosage. I want to know what could be the reason for the increase in TSH and should I just increase the dosage or consult another specialist for the same.
