I m 26 yr old women i have hypothyroid with tsh >100 and i am on med from past 15 days with eltroxin 100mcg. will my thyroid get normal within 1 mnth?

Possibly: A TSH over 100 implies a very low thyroid level. For many women 100 mcg of thyroid hormone will be adequate, but it depends on your size, and how well you absorb the medication. You should take it on an empty stomach and wait at least 40 min. Before eating. Depending on how long your thyroid has been low, it may take more than 1 month for the TSH level to become normal, even if the dose is right.

No, not in 1 month: Hi. No, you will not have a stable response to l-thyroxine in 1 month. Give it 6-7 weeks. And in 6-7 weeks, I'm not saying your thyroid will be normal, all I'm saying is your response to 100 mcg will be STABLE. You might need more than 100 mcg (but probably not less). And after you deliver the baby, your Eltroxin dose may need to be lowered. Your doctor can easily manage all of this. Good luck!
