What's the best medication for over active thyroid? free t4 of 4.7 also i want something safe to take while trying to conceive.

Free T4: Your free T4 is indeed high and needs treatment. In pregnancy the drug of choice is PT U (propylthhiouracil) and should be the drug of choice if you are trying to conceive. This is not uncommon and your obstetrician will know exactly how to control this.

PTU (propylthiouracil): PTU (propylthiouracil) has been traditionally used in pregnancy due to concern about Methimazole causing fetal abnormalities to reduce overactive thyroid

Ptu (propylthiouracil): would be the safest drug to use during pregnancy. Consult your endocrinologist and OB.
