Brief Answer:
you needed to continue the same dose.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXX, Hi! hypothyroidism is a state where your thyroid gland is working less than needed. thyroxine is for replacement and so it is needed for long and may be life time. lab reports coming in normal range suggests that the dose is appropriate for you and needs to be continued in the same manner.
i hope you 've understood what you need to do.
restart and recheck every three months and let me know.
regards!

I have also mentioned about my other problem-simple endometrium hyperplasia. My doc has prescribed deviry 10 mg pill. Should I continue that also?

Brief Answer:
confirmation required from treating gynecologist

Detailed Answer:
dear ma'm, sorry i missed the other part as it was not mentioned in the query , it was in your medical history. treatment for endometrial hyperplasia , how long and how much depends upon, your age, type of hyperplasia and your symptoms and your response to treatment. so it would really be better if you see your treating gynecologist who started the progestin. regards!
