Hypothyroid symptomatic with high TSH but normal T3 and T4 - should I be concerned?

[Brand09]

I have been feeling "off" for a while, and have been consistently experiencing symptoms that I suspected might indicate hypothyroidism (extreme weight gain, fatigue, dry hair, low body temp averaging 97.1, amenorrhea, etc), so I had a thyroid panel done in order to see if that might be the problem.  The only medication/supplements that I take are allegra for allergy problems that I have suddenly developed and a multivitamin.  I have not gone to the doctor yet, but I have an appointment next week.  My results were:

TSH  6.9 µU/mL (reference range 0.5-3.0)
Free T3  3.8 pg/mL (reference range 2.5-6.5)
Free T4  1.7 ng/dL  (reference range 0.7-2.5)
TPOab  22 IU/mL    (reference range 0-150 (70-150 borderline))

I'm not sure what to make of this.  With my symptoms and a high TSH, shouldn't the Free T4 be lower?

Its only mild thyroid damage but TSH value of 6.9 does give many hypothyroid symptoms as you mentioned so starting on low dose thyroid hormone replacement pill is good.

Also do these basic blood tests Vitamin D. Vitamin B12 and Ferritin. Out of these Vitamin D or 25-hydroxy Vitamin D3 test is very essential as over 90% of hypothyroid people are usually low on this.
