My doctor says I am hyper but everything I am reading regarding my numbers says I am hypo.

TSH is 0.008  Range: 0.450-4.500
T3 is 5.9 Range: 2.0-4.4
T4 is 2.21 Range: 0.82-1.77

This is not my area of expertise, however, I do know that it's very important to have your thyroid levels optimal before getting pregnant, because thyroid health has a huge impact on a baby's growth and development.  

You might want to stop trying to conceive until you resolve your thyroid issue, then try to conceive again.  Does you OB/GYN know you have the thyroid issue?  Any way you can get the 2 doctors to communicate with each other?

My doc is saying I have both Hashimoto (sp) and Graves..... they are suggenting RAI. They told me to stop trying to conceive. I am just wondering why my OBGYN is giving me clomid to conceive and my endo is sying I should not... so confused and worried.

Low TSH, with high FT3 and FT4 indicates you are hyper.  Do keep a close watch on your levels.

Make sure you get labs every 2=3 weeks as you can go HYPO on these meds very quickly and the dosage needs adjusting when the numbers start to fall.
The first sign of HYPO is aching, cold, lethargic, constipation, no appetite.

Let us know how you go.

He has given me Tapazole 10 mgs 3 times a day. No symptoms except for massive hair thining.

All three test results are indicative of being hyper.  The T3 and T4 results are above their ranges, which indicates excess thyroid hormone.  High T4 and T4 drive the TSH number to the low side. Are you also noticing hyper symptoms?  Does the doctor plan to do more testing to determine possible cause for the hyper condition?  Has the doctor discussed what he suggests to be done to treat you?
