I'm a bit worried because I had my routine check-up recently and gave my blood sample on the first day of my periods. Could that timing affect the results of my thyroid tests? I don't have any thyroid history, but my TSH ultrasensitive result came back at 0.008. What does this mean, and should I be concerned?
