I'm curious about vitamin D3 deficiency and how often I should take supplements. Is it more effective to take them weekly or just once a month? And how long should I be on them to see improvements?

I recently found out that I have a thyroid issue, and my TSH level is 89.90. My doctor advised me to take 50 MCG of Thyronorm every morning, just one tablet a day. I'm really concerned about whether this is the right treatment for me. Also, I have a 7-month-old baby, and I'm worried if it's safe for me to take Thyronorm while nursing. Is my condition something I should be seriously worried about, or is there another treatment option that might be better? I'm 28 years old and would really appreciate some guidance.
