In conventional medicine, a TSH level above a 5 or a 6 is determined to be hypothyroidism. A functional TSH level is 2 or less. Most women function best at a TSH less than 2, and the ovaries definitely respond to a TSH less than 2. So much so that conventional medicine has admitted that that when it comes to reproductive issues and fertility issues, they do try to get that TSH level at least 2 or below to help the ovaries function properly.
