Underactive Thyroid TSH Results in

After trying to conceive for over a year and two miscarriages my doctor got my thyroid tested. My TSH level came back as 2.4. I have all the symptoms, extreme fatigue, feel the cold, frequent urination, hair loss. My doctor has said this falls within 'normal' limits and will not prescribe me any medication. I have researched this and have found that your level needs to fall between 1 and 2 to get pregnant and to sustain a pregnancy, is this right? I feel so helpless and that noone want to help me. Should I go back and talk to the doctor? I'm not a pushy person. Any help or advice would be so supportive right now. Thank you.

Yes you'd want your TSH under 2

I'd recommend asking for a referral to see an endocrinologist
If they won't do that then I'd change GP
