A TSH above the normal range, even with normal T3 and T4, can sometimes affect ovulation and lead to irregular or prolonged bleeding, though it isn't the only possible cause.
Next Steps
Please repeat the thyroid test along with anti-TPO antibodies and rule out pregnancy before starting any treatment.
Health Tips
Spotting lasting over a month also needs a pelvic ultrasound to look for other causes.
