Hi, I have hypothyroidism and have been taking 88 mcg, but now tsh value is 0.25 and the doctor has asked to take 25 mcg under the assumption that I am taking 50 mcg and we are planning to have baby soon. So can I not take medicine for a week and then check after one week again and resume the dose accordingly?

"dear Lybrate user thanks for sending across your query. No you should not leave the medicine and reduce it to 50 mcg and get it checked after 1 month as the reduction in dose shows its effect in atleast 1 month.

Ideally take medicine for one month and get tested on 30th day on fasting and after taking tablet, which gives correct information
