I'm a bit worried because I had my routine check-up recently and gave my blood sample on the first day of my periods. Could that timing affect the results of my thyroid tests? I don't have any thyroid history, but my TSH ultrasensitive result came back at 0.008. What does this mean, and should I be concerned?

no it doesn't effect

Can you take Thyronorm on an empty stomach before brushing your teeth? And is it really necessary to wait at least an hour before eating or drinking anything after you've taken the medicine? I'm trying to make sure I'm doing it right.
