Hmmm.: It takes 4-6 weeks for your TSH to normalize. Although I agree with taking 125 mcg it may be too soon to raise to 137 mcg. Most docs try to get your TSH goal between 1-2. Your doctor may also have chosen to do this a little early if he/she believes you are still having hypothyroid related symptoms. Discuss with doc on phone or in person or by email so you both are on same page. Best of luck.

That's normal: The value of your TSH of 3.05 is normal. No need to increase the dose now.
