follicular: 3.5-12.5 IU/L
mid-cycle: 4.7-21.5 IU/L

Non pregnant females: 2 to 29 ng/ml
Pregnant women: 10 to 209 ng/ml

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
2.09
Normal values are from 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L for those with no symptoms of an under- or over-active thyroid.

If you are being treated for a thyroid disorder, your TSH should be between 0.5 and 2.0 mIU/L. This means that you are being treated appropriately.

Some people with a TSH value over 2.0 mIU/L, who have no signs or symptoms suggestive of an under-active thyroid, may develop hypothyroidism sometime in the future. Anyone with a TSH above 2.0 mIU/L, therefore, should be followed very closely by a doctor.

Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.

And that is that for all the blood work. I hate having to wait until Dec. to discuss all the results because looking at them I am over on most of them??? There was also a note on the labs that said "needs Dexamethasone will talk to her about her labs @ her visit" the following link is all about the Dexamethasone and what it does....sounds kinda scary esp. when it says if you become pregnant while taking call doc immediately? Anyway I am sure they know what they are doing and hopefully it will help. If anyone knows what ANY of these mean...feel free to pipe in!
