Consult an endocrinologist regarding the raised tsh. Breastfeeding doesn't cause this raised tsh.Get your urine tested regarding the pain abdomen.

Please get your urine pregnancy test done and consult a Gynaecologist.
You should use some effective contraceptives. You will have irregular periods for many months after delivery and you may conceive without knowing that you have become pregnant.
Please get your complete Thyroid profile and consult a Gynaecologist or a General Physician. It should be T3 T4 and TSH and not only TSH.

Thyroid levels are raised
You need to increase the dose of thyroid medication
If you are not pregnant nothing to worry about the delayed period
It could be because of the hormonal changes of lactation
Or Deranged thyroid levels
