I asked my doctor to run a thyroid test to check it hasnt been preventing me from getting pregnant for me but i cant see anything from my blood test that looks like a TSH test in my results..?

Does anyone know if this result confirms no thyroidism OR if it hasnt been tested for?

Thanks so much!

I don’t think any of those are thyroid.
a FUll Blood Count doesn’t usually include the TSH and T4 tests.

No, a thyroid profile would include TSH, free T4 and T3 and perhaps and anti-thyroid antibodies.
none listed here.
Do pursue the thyroid function. I know someone who was trying for years, got diagnosed with a slightly under-active thyroid, was on thyroxine for 2 months and get pregs…

@OutFortheBirds do you know what the T3 and anti-thyroid antibody test help show?
Ive only ever had the standard issue TSH and T4!

The T3 is the activated form of T4 hormone. So it’s the amount of active T3 which could indicate hypothyroid. T3 test isn’t as common as T4, but I’m unsure why. I think the T4 test is more stable.
The anti-thyroid antibodies test look to see if you have autoimmunity to your own thyroid (your immune system attacking your thyroid) which may cause it to underperform/a hypothyroid disorder. Hope that helps
