In hypothyroidism, a TSH test once a year will check that levels are within the reference range. In hyperthyroidism the usual tests are TSH and FT4; how often these take place will depend on the treatment

Hello doctor, please find my recent thyroid test report attached. Please suggest if there is any abnormality? We are planning for a baby and I am currently not on any medication.

I have irregular periods, and my blood report shows that my prolactin level is quite high. My gynecologist has prescribed tablets to help regulate my periods, but I am concerned about the elevated prolactin. Should this be treated separately, and what could be the reason for the high prolactin level?
