I ve been taking medicine for hypothyrodism for 2 months! i did a blood test now and my ft4 improved slighty but tsh increased more than before! why?

Thyroid replacement: The TSH increases when the ft4 is too low. But the relationship is not precise. You likely need a higher dose of levothyroxine. See your doctor.
