Order TSH Blood Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) from JustLabs for $9 ($27 all-in for a single-test order: $9 + one $18 lab & physician order fee per order). Price includes lab processing at Quest Diagnostics. No insurance required.
The TSH test is the gold standard for evaluating thyroid function. It's the first test doctors order when thyroid problems are suspected.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is produced by your pituitary gland and tells your thyroid how much hormone to make. When your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), TSH levels rise as your body tries to stimulate more thyroid hormone production. When overactive (hyperthyroidism), TSH drops because less stimulation is needed.
This simple blood test is the most sensitive way to detect thyroid problems, often catching issues before symptoms appear or become severe.

What's Measured
What This Test Measures
This test measures the level of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in your blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland in your brain and acts as the "master controller" of your thyroid. Normal TSH levels typically range from 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L, though optimal ranges may be narrower (0.5-2.5 mIU/L for many people).
Who Should Consider This Test
Anyone experiencing symptoms of thyroid dysfunction such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, sensitivity to cold or heat, hair loss, or mood changes. Also recommended for those with a family history of thyroid disease, women planning pregnancy, and adults over 35 as part of routine screening.

When to Get Tested
TSH can be tested any time of day without fasting. For monitoring thyroid medication, test at the same time each day for consistency. Many doctors recommend annual screening for adults, especially women over 35.

Understanding Your Results
High TSH typically indicates an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) - your pituitary is working harder to stimulate the thyroid. Low TSH suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) - the pituitary is reducing stimulation because enough hormone is being produced. Your results will include reference ranges and clear indicators if values are abnormal.
What to Expect
After placing your order, we send it straight to Quest Diagnostics — there is no consent form to sign and no partner email to wait for. Your requisition is usually ready to download from your dashboard within about an hour, and you can book your blood draw at any Quest Diagnostics location.
