Hi, I think you can increase the dose of eltroxin by 25 mcg. Do a repeat thyroid profile after 4 weeks. You can conceive naturally also. But you can go for a follicular monitoring to see the ovulation is happening or not. If ovulation is happening, then you can try naturally for 6 months. If it doesn't work, then you can go for some medicines for growth of your follicles. Hope I have answered your question.
