So, that's your only thyroid symptom?  And it's possibly related to decreased activity?

Both your T3 and T4 are a little on the low side, and your TSH has been climbing.  I'd just continue to monitor it at the moment.  Next time ask for FREE T3 and FREE T4.  Of course, if you develop any more symptoms in the interim, you'd want to retest sooner rather than later.

Next time blood is drawn, you might also ask for thyroid antibody tests.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease, is the most prevalent cause of hypo.  The two markers for Hashi's are TPOab (thyroid peroxidase antibody) and TGab (thyroglobulin antibody).  Both have to be tested as some of us are positive for one, some the other and some both.  If you have Hashi's, you will know that your thyroid will continually worsen.

Unfortunately, your doctor is testing total T3 and total T4.  FREE T3 and FREE T4 are tests that give much more information.

All tests, except the last two TSH tests are in range.  However, we can be in range and still be hypo.  How do you feel?  Do you have hypo symptoms?
