Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Brief answer: You should stop the drug

Detailed answer:

Hi,
The doctor has prescribed you thyroxine as you were planning for IVF and TSH is above 2.5. But now with lowest dose thyroxine your TSH is low.
If I were your treating physician I would have stopped the thyroxine tablets and followed up you after 1 month with thyroid function tests and anti TPO antibodies.
If TSH is above 2.5 I would re start you on thyroxine.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards
