Brief Answer:
CONTINUE TAKING THE MEDICATION

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query and understood your concern
The TSH level is normal after four months of taking thyronorm 25 mcg ,which means the thyroid level is maintained because of the medication .As you are trying to conceive I would recommend you to continue the medication and check your thyroid levels every 3 months.
Regards

Hi
So usually the thyroid treatment is a life long treatment unless in periodical blood test done every 3 months if the tsh level drops below the normal range ,you can stop the medication .If the tsh level is maintained with the medication then I would recommend you to continue the medication
