I've calmed down

Ok, so I think I understand this TSH thing better now. Thank you so much for your comments, especially you endo experts (MTL!! Thanks!!) out there.

I guess this can happen after pregnancy, having hypothyroidism. Given all the other weird things that happened to my body with and after pregnancy (hello, pregnancy tumor on my face! remember that awful thing??) I shouldn't be surprised. And I have some risk factors for this too - my mother has auto-immune disease (RA) and my brother was diagnosed as hypothyroid a few years back and is on replacement hormones. Which I had initially forgotten about. So yeah, after I've calmed the f**k down, it is not so strange.

I saw my OB/GYN today for my annual check-up (and just as an aside, I still LOVE my OB. She is just the greatest) and we discussed the lab results. She didn't seem too concerned, but agreed to re-run the lab work, and gave me the name of her favorite endocrinologist to see if my TSH does come back as elevated. Given I'm trying to get pregnant again, she would rather I see a specialist than be managed by my internist who I haven't seen in years anyway.

So we have a plan, and now I just wait a day or two for the lab results. Small hurdle on the road to #2, what else would I expect? Smooth sailing? Ha! Who do I think I am? A fertile? Hahahahahahahahahaha....
