A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thyroid test: Tsh is a hormone released by the pitutary gland and is negatively cycled in response to thyroid hormone levels, high levels of thyroid cause a drop in TSH and vica versa. The range of TSH is affected by physiological factors such as sleep , circadian variation, food intake and sleep but within the narrow range you quote there is also variations due to measurement called interassay variation.
