Synthroid Dose using current pills

My current Synthroid pills are 100mcg daily.  My Dr. just changed my dosage to 125 mcg daily and my drugs are mail ordered.  How can I utilize my current 100mcg to get the 125 mcg dosage until the new prescription arrives? Thank you!

Or, easier yet, just quarter them and take one and a quarter every day.

you can buy 25 mcg and take both 100 mcg and 25 mcg pills together.

or with current 100 mcg pill take 1 and cut it to 2 halves to make 50 mcg. then take that 50 mcg during alternate days with 100 mcg. like

100 mcg - (100 mcg + 50 mcg) - 100 mcg - (100 mcg + 50 mcg) - 100 mcg and so on.
