I had a blood test for an underactive thyroid in July 09, which showed a reading of 5. I was prescribed 150mg of levothyroxine daily, but subsequent tests in Sept 09 and April 10 showed readings of 0.6 and 0.8 respectively, leading to side effects like shaking hands, heart palpitations, irregular periods, and water retention. I stopped taking the medication in May 10 and felt better, losing weight. A July 10 blood test showed a reading of 6.5, and the doctor wants me to resume levothyroxine as I've been trying to conceive since June 09. What are the range levels for blood tests for thyroid problems?
