Brief Answer:
Wait for 1-2 months.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
A raised TSH value suggests low thyroid hormone levels. With low levels of thyroid hormone the chances of conception are less. Now that you have started with proper medicine let the hormone levels come back to normal in next 1-2 months and then try for conception. Thyroid hormone is necessary for normal development of baby.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
