Talk to me about thyroid/TSH

So I had DH order me thyroid testing just to check it since I have had a harm to losing the baby weight (despite trying very hard), thyroid problems are common in fragile x permutation carriers (about 25% have issues) and my Mom had thyroid issues post-baby.  My results were faxed to DH's medical practice and he said they were all normal.  Here are my stats:

TSH: 0.848     [lab range says normal is 0.45-4.5]

T3:  125          [lab range says normal is 71-180]

T4:  1.06         [lab range says normal is 0.82-1.77]

Do these seem normal/good to you?  I know there is "normal" and then there is "good."  By way of example, my labwork page says up to a 12.5 FSH is in the normal range, but a 12.5 FSH on CD 3 is definitely not normal for a woman of my age. 

I also remember reading something about RE's prefer to see either below or above 2 on the TSH for TTC purposes, but now I cant remember if it was above or below 2. Anyone know?

Edit: Added lab range.

Your numbers are great.  It's the TSH that gets looked at most commonly and that is the number you want under 2 for ttc.  If it falls too low then you are actually hyper-thyroid which would cause you to lose weight, have a fast heartbeat, and

Great to hear!  I know absolutely nothing about thyroid.  My DH said they were normal, but I just wanted to double-check with people who might be familiar with thyroid issues.

Your numbers look great - the TSH is right where it should be. Sometimes if someone is really close to a 4 and having all of the hypothyroid symptoms a doctor *might* consider treating it - but yours is below 1 and is really excellent.
