Brief Answer:
Likely...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

TSH at around 18 definitely indicates hypothyroidism. And hypothyroidism is well known to cause missed period. You got to get the thyroid state corrected.

If you are sexually active and in reproductive age group, you should also check and rule out pregnancy.

Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Brief Answer:
Most likely due to hypothyroidism...

Detailed Answer:
Your chances to conceive are close to zero. From my experience, i can rule out pregnancy. You can always check with urine pregnancy test and for sure eliminate any possibilities of pregnancy.

From the details known, hypothyroidism is more likely the cause of missed period. You should get the thyroid supplements started immediately. In the meanwhile, you can also be started on pills to induce period (once pregnancy is absolutely ruled out through the tests suggested above).

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
