Brief Answer:
Normal thyroid

Detailed Answer:
Your wife's thyroid lab test results are within normal limits.

There is nothing to be done about it. Even though the Total T4 is closer to the upper limit of normal, it is extremely unlikely there is anything wrong with these lab results.

So one should not expect any problems with conceiving or pregnancy as far as the thyroid is concerned
