Answer from the fertility expert:
Dr Abraham Zavala, Clinica Tambre

TSH levels in the general population, depending on lab values, specific guidelines, and the country that you are being tested in, are usually considered normal between 0.4 and 4.5.

In women, there are two populations in which we may want different values, and that would be in women trying to achieve pregnancy through fertility treatments or in pregnant women. In these populations, we’re going to want TSH values below 2.5.
