Hello there. Your reports are in the borderline range. I suggest you get a test called as anti microsomal antibody. If its high, you will need to be started on medicines soon. If not, one can wait and repeat tsh after 3 months. But, if one is pregnant or planning pregnancy, has irregular menses, thyroid swelling, then medicines should be started irrespective of the above test.
