Hi Anon,
On average, it may take about 4-6 weeks for your thyroid levels to completely normalize while on medications. You should still talk to your doctor about when he will reevaluate your TSH levels. Although it sounds like he's only planning on keeping you on it for a month and perhaps going from there.
Hormone levels are extermely important, especially when trying to conceive a baby. This is probably the reason why your doctor is keeping you on birth control pills until your TSH levels go down to a safe range for pregnancy.
Wishing you the best, keep us updated!
