Just received my test results from Friday's endocrinologist visit. They are as follows:

T4=15.5 Range is 5.5-11.0
T3 uptake= 23 Range is 23-41
Free Thyroxine index=3.57 Range is 1.27-4.50
TSH=2.16 Range is 0.46-4.68

Still awaiting results of insulin test. Fasting blood glucose was 76. As you can see the T4 is high...what does that mean? My last test results in March were:

T4=5.5
TSH=5.5
Free Thyroxine index=1.28

What does this mean? My new endocrinologist thinks I have Hashimoto's. I have been eating right and exercising like a fool for the past 5 months. Initially lost 10 pounds in 8 weeks but now I can't seem to lose anymore. Overall, I have lost 11 pounds but the scale has become stuck at 140. What do I do? M.D. said he would give me metformin if I were trying to get pregnant however, I am trying to lose the weight and become healthier before becoming pregnant...what a concept. Will I even be able to accomplish this without some other kind of help?
