Does TSH Level Of 37.41 Cause Missed Periods?

I am a 24 years old female, 170 lbs.. I have had hashimotos for 12 years.. I recently have not been taking my medication regularly and this month I have felt very nauseous and have not gotten my menstrual period.. I went to my OBGYN and I am definitely not pregnant... I had bloodwork and my current TSH levels are 37.41.. could that be the reason for my missed period??
