Low tsh but normal T3 and T4 uptake?

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism (autoimmune) back in September 08. Since then I have been on .75mg of Synthroid. I recently decided to have some bloodwork done on my own and am unsure how to interpret the results because they seem contradicting to my Hypo diagnosis. My results were:

T4: 9.4
T3 uptake: 35
Free Throxine Index: 3.3
TSH: .156
Thyroid Peroxidase: 26
Antithyroiglobulin: 534

Is it possible that my hypothyroidism is going away? Because I would expect there to be a higher level of peroxidase (based on my research). I had a miscarriage back in Feb 07 and have read that being pregnant can cause hypo but it can be temporary in many cases. I was only pregnant for a little over a month so could this be the cause? Because it appears that I have gone from being hypo to hyper based on results. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

It would appear that you are on the hyper side, now.  I would have your doctor decrease your dose of synthroid  until you were within the normal range of .3 to 3.0.

That's what it appears to be, however, my T3 and T4 are within the normal range, so it doesn't make sense to me...
