Yes, the release of estradiol can increase TSH levels during periods.
The thyroid gland in mammals plays a central role in the regulation of development and basal metabolism.
A TSH over 10 mIU/L has been linked to an increased risk of coronary heart disease and heart failure, which is why you' will probably want to seek treatment if your TSH is close to (but still under) that upper limit
The main hormones produced by the thyroid gland are thyroxine or tetraiodothyronine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
A normal range for TSH in most laboratories is 0.4 milliunits per liter (mU/L) to 4.0 mU/L. If your TSH is higher than 4.0 mU/L on repeat tests, you probably have hypothyroidism. Your doctor may also order a T4 test
