You don't mention what the levels of the rest of the thyroid panel were, if they were done. . Your prolactin level for a nonpregnant female is normal. In addition the eating, stress and menstrual cycles can cause fluctuations if TSH. I'd be satisfied as long as your result is within normal range.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the results you provided are not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!
