I'm really worried about my thyroid test results. My TSH is at 2.5 and T3 is at 1.5, but my T4 level is pretty high at 17.2. Does this mean there might be a problem with conceiving?

I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction and went to see a doctor about it. He recommended I get tests for testosterone, vitamin B12, prolactin, and FSH. My results came back, showing testosterone at 2 ngml, vitamin B12 at 182 pgml, FSH at 2.99 mIUml, and prolactin at 7.21 ngml. I'm scheduled to see him on Thursday, but I'm feeling really anxious and worried. Is a testosterone level of 2 ngml considered critically low when the normal range is 2.8 to 8? I'm a 29-year-old male, 178 cm tall, and weigh 95 kg. I used to smoke. Can you give me any advice on this?
