There's no such thing as 'normal', where thyroid is concerned. It just means 'in-range', which is pretty meaningless because the ranges are too wide. Can you give us the exact numbers: results and ranges?
However, we don't need a range to know that a TSH of 5 is much too high. When you are on thyroid hormone replacement, it should be 1 or under. I suppose the silly little increase your doctor has given you is a tiny step in the right direction, but more than likely won't be enough to bring your TSH down to the desired level. Increases are usually 25 mcg every six weeks. But, time will tell.
