Okay...

I did some google searches.

My thyroid seems to be okay. The range it should be in is 0.27-4.20 and my TSH was 2.15

I did find one website that suggested anything over 2.5 was underactive, but mine is still below that and in the middle of the majority of ranges that I found. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how to (speed up?) your thyroid?

my FSH is 3.0 which seems to be fine and I was exactly mid cycle then. I got my period 17/18 days later.

my LH was 4.4 which also seemed right in the middle there.

The only thing I couldnt understand is Testosterone said 43.

The doc told me testosterone needs to be between 22-80 so according to the doc I am right in there, but I couldnt find much on the internet and the few pages I did find, seemed to be saying that I needed to be a 4 or a 9 or some single digit number that matches all the other numbers.

If thats the case 43 seems pretty scary. Also when I searched it was difficult to find any ranges for women, only men.

If anyone knows about what the testosterone should be in a female I would appreciate it if you can either tell me here, or PM or my journal or somewhere.

Thanks,

MJ
