Brief Answer:
Normal thyroid hormone levels

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Your Thyroid hormone levels are within normal range, and you should continue with the same treatment.
Chances of conception with these levels of thyroid hormones are high, if all other factors for fertility are favourable.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Ovulation induction

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, in order to decrease your TSH levels under 3, you should increase the dose of Eltroxin.
However, the normal levels of TSH are upto 5.0 in non pregnant women.
If you are having problems in conceiving naturally, then you should take ovulation induction under the supervision of an infertility specialist to increase the chances of pregnancy.
