DO NOT WORRY.YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT. YOU ARE ON RIGHT DOSE CONTINUE IT. NORMAL T S H IS 0.4 TO 4.6 ( VARIES FROM LAB. TO LAB.) MAINTAIN AT 2.5 TO 3 ( YOURS IS 2.5, IS BEST) . DO NOT CHANGE TO 50 mcg. START TAKING TABLET FOLIC ACID DAILY FOR HEALTHY BABY WITHOUT DEFECTS. WHEN YOU BECOME PREGNANT(BEST OF LUCK IN ADVANCE) YOUR DOCTOR MAY INCREASE THE DOSE OF THYRONORM, BECAUSE IN PREGNANCY DEMAND OF IODINE INCREASES. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUERY ALWAYS WELCOME.
