Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Your wife has high TSH levels which indicate that she is suffering from hypothyroidism. It can be reversed with regular treatment and intermittent regular monitoring of the thyroid hormone levels.
Regarding the other hormone levels, it depends on which day of her cycle these levels were measured. Usually the samples are taken around day 3 of cycle and FSH levels are interpreted along with serum oestradiol levels.
The FSH levels are on a higher side in your wife which indicates that she is nearing menopause and if it is associated with normal oestradiol levels then her chances of getting pregnant are a bit low.
My suggestion would be to start taking thyroid tablets and in next cycle on day 3 of cycle recheck serum LH, FSH and Oestradiol levels.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
