Have you had regular thyroid gland blood tests since diagnosis. Usually, you take a starting dose which is gradually increased about every 6 weeks. You should keep a record of your blood tests for your own reference.

If you have had a recent blood test, get a copy from the surgery complete with the ranges and post on a new question. If you haven't also had a Vitamin B12, Vit D, iron, ferritin and folate, ask your GP for these. Usually the first two are low in hypo. Iron is needed for good conversion.

Post the results in a new question for members to comment.
