Not sure you anyone can shed light or explain a little more of what this may mean. ( I will be requesting a call with GP tomorrow but just concerned re the recent comment on my test.
I had my TSH tested on 10th Feb 23, day 21 of my cycle at 12 in afternoon, it was showing 0.73niu/L with a comment "normal - suggests patient is possibly euthyroid.
My prior test on 23rd January 23, day 3 of my cycle was 1.5miu/L
Looking back on my medical record I can see I was tested in
May 22 0.99miu/L
November 21 1.2miu/L
I understand these things can fluctuate but by so much ? Also the "possible euthyroid" , does this mean I should be testing for other health issues?
Also my 2 other concerns -
My Mum was diagnosed with thyroid cancer but completed tests and was advised it wasn't a genetically passed one.
Also since my last IUI fertility treatment failed on 21st January I have been trying to reduce my calorie intake and increased exercise to try reduce my BMI in the next 3 months before looking at starting IVF. I have lost around 5lb since then. Would this be impacting my TSH?
Thank you in advance for any ideas/explanation.

For TSH 0.73 to 1.5 is not a big fluctuation at all.. it can move that much within each day ..
Going up and down from eg 0.05 to 6 and back down to 0.05 again within a few weeks ,, that would be a significant fluctuation. and might be cause for concern .
TSH has a circadian rhythm so it is higher early am falling to lowest between 1-3pn ish .. then rising again .. and this rise and fall is not a smooth line , there are little mini spikes within it about every 45 minutes.
So your TSH variation is nothing to be concerned about , and your TSH level is not any cause for concern wither , because a level close to 1 is where TSH sits for the majority of healthy people.
" suggests patient is possibly euthyroid" don't read anything into the 'possibly ' lab comments are very general, it is not meant to be diagnostic comment .. it just means on the basis of the information we have here , this patient could be euthyroid
