Blood Test Results - thyroid

So ive been trying to get pregnant for the last year. Husbands sperm is not exactly the best so hes in the midst of changing lifestyle and taking vitamins to improve it. However while waiting for his sperm to improve ive had my thyroid tested, the results are as follows :

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone [TSH]
RESULT 1.94
RANGE   0.32-4.00mIU/L

Thyroxine Free [Free T4]
RESULTS  13
RANGE      9-19pmol/L

Triiodothyronine Free [Free T3]
RESULT   3.8
RANGE     3.1-6.2pmol/L

Thyroglobulin Antibody
HI
RESULTS  469
RANGE     < 40kIU/L

Anti-Thyroglobulin antibody values up to 800
kIU/L may be seen in healthy people without
demonstrable thyroid disease.

Thyroperoxidase Antibody
RESULT   31
RANGE    < 35 kIU/L

Does this indicate a thyroid issue? something that needs to be solved before trying to get pregnant?
I am a 32 year old female and i have an 8 year old son, not sure if that changes anything.

Thanks in advance!

From your test results I'd say that you do have a thyroid problem  First your Free T3 is much too low in the range, and second your TPO ab test indicates Hashimoto's Thyroiditis.   With your Free T3 that low, and your Free T4 at mid-range, it appears that your body is not converting T4 to T3 very well.  So I suggest that you should also test for cortisol and ferritin since they affect conversion.  

Definitely you need to get your thyroid problem solved and get your Free T4 and Free T3 to optimal levels before getting pregnant.  It is very important for your and the fetus.  

What, if any, symptoms do you have?
