My test results...what do you think ??

Okay here goes. I had my next set of blood work and my sono and uptake...I'm scratching my head big time now (and yes hair is still falling out). What do you guys think of these??? Even the docs/techs that did the test don't understand (and they really couldn't believe my endo we doing the uptake and sono with only symptom being excessive hair loss??)

My 6 hour uptake was 15.5% (normal is 3-16%)
24 hour uptake was 28% H (8-25%)
The scans looked "beautiful and normal" according to the tech and I saw the images and it did, no cold or hot spots, the coloring was evenly and the shape was a perfect butterfly. He did say there could be a growth on the outer edge that I guess didn't show up because it didn't absorb the iodine...but the shape was fine and showed nothing.

Blood work...now mind you I had a TSH of .70 and then 7 days later it was .38...these are my levels from monday:
TSH .60 (.47-4.68)
T4 FREE 1.13 (.78-2.19)
Vit B12 (think she ran for hair loss) 539 (239-931)
Anti-thyroid perox AB <20 (<=40)
Anti-thyroglub AB <1.0 (<=2.3)
Thyroid stim immnuo TSI index <1.0 (<=1.3)
T3 FREE 2.7 (2.0-3.5)
Testosterone % free 2.2 (.9-3.8)
test. free .4 (.3-1.9) ****this is the only thing that looks low
test. total 19 (8-60)

Okay so has anyone else gotten back normal blood work and still had issues with the thyroid? Could something still show up on the sono?? I'm freaking here now thinking it must be something worse in the thyroid and not just the thyroid itself causing the hair loss. I still have no other symptoms but have read most people with HYPER don't know until they have routine blood work. I want my hair back and I am so sick of the nasty clumps that continue to shed every time I touch my hair. Hopefully someone on here has had similar tests and can help shed some light. I can't get into the endo. till the 6th which is a long time away when you are waiting on answers :-( My grandma now with the new blood results still thinks it is all from pregnancy...lord lets hope so!! Thanks everyone for any input and suggestions.
