TSH 7.7: Hi Yvette. Your TSH is elevated, so you almost certainly have subclinical hypothyroidism. I would predict your free T4 will come back within the normal range. Checking thyroid autoantibodies (TPO & thyroglobulin antibodies) will likely show evidence of autoimmunity. I would repeat the test to confirm, then start levothyroxine with a TSH goal of about 1. Your doc caught it early. Good luck!
