Hi Janelle -

I had come across this website a few weeks ago. It has info. on what the levels mean, and also general info. about hypothyroidism that's easy to understand.

Here is another from the Mary Shomon, about.com site--a chart of the test values ranges--with the updated values for TSH as of this year:

BTW--when you get any tests done, ask the doctor for the complete lab results. The lab report SHOULD indicate the results AND the normal reference ranges used by the lab.
