Feel'n bad...
Did blood work last Sept. 08. These were my results:
Thyroglobulin AB(0.0-14.4 IU/ml): 41.9 H
Thyroid Peroxidase(0.0-3.9 IU/ml): 253.80 H
Doc said I had Hashimoto's. Could that be why I can't get pregnant & I have 4-5 menses last year? Should I be on any kind of medication to control the wt gain, inability to lose wt,thinning hair & dry skin?

First thing your dr should do is to do your bloodwork for your thyroid function: TSH, Free T4 and Free T3.....that will tell if you need to start meds. I would insist on these tests before anything is taken.
Had 2 ultrasounds & both said that I have a heterogenous enlarged thyroid & the doc has not given me any meds. Should I be? The last report even suggested that I have an RAI, but they never set me up for one. What should I do?
Yes testing for the thyroid along with the Hashimoto tests will determine what plan your doctor will have in mind.
Since your Hashi test - what has the doctor done for you? Did he put you on meds?
Has there been any discussion on any ultra sound scans?
