shellsa - I answered this on another members post about you statement with this TSH of 5.6 being low.

This in the realm of thyroid with doctors would be high - and you would be medicated with thyroid hormone to increase the hormone to lower the TSH.

The AACE has a reference chart on labs and the ranges of TSH should be .3-3.0 - Your 5.6 is above that so hypothyroidism is what would be thought.

We find - many - that the TSH is not a great tool either to best determine the condition and prefer to get FT3 and FT4 ( free testing) on the actual hormones for thyroid function.
