60yo, tested today: tsh (6.8 last month) went up to 10.51 and ft4 is 11.71. why did it go up and can i wait 3 mnths to start any meds as i'm busy now?

Do you mean T4: not free T4, or did you type in the wrong number, as 11.71 would be highly abnormal. You need to discuss these results w/your doctor. If freet-4 question is resolved, and tsh continues to increase, it means your thyroid is continuing to fail. You can wait as long as you want, but thing will only get worse. It takes no time at all to have your doctor begin you on BRAND NAME T4 replacement and reche

Doesn't add up: Your TSH doesn't correlate with your FT4, Are you sure your Ft4 is 11.7? This is too high, look at the blood report one more time and let me know. Your TSH is high and if it's 10 and your Ft4 is within normal range (0.8-2.5) and you are symptom free then you have subclinical Hypothyrodism and it's time for treatment. Usually elevated TSH and Ft4 are lab error, or very rare medical conditions.
