What is a "high" TSH level? Normal range is .5-4.5 mIU/L (or uIU/mL). Was yours higher than 4.0 mIU/L? A high TSH level would have to be accompanied by a low Free T4 level as well to cause concern of hypothyroidism.

I think it was 4 (It was within the normal range though)

I didn't mean it was too high, but, I didn't have any thyroid problems as of 3ish mos ago.

Some labs will let the upper limit go up to 5.0 mIU/L... So 4 isn't high. ;).

Hair does decrease and stop growing in regular cycles on HRT. As with most things HRT related, time will tell.
