Hi Mindy Jo--I think how long depends on the lab your doctor uses, anywhere
from a day to a week.  I have hypothyroidism that caused me to gain about 60
pounds in 2 years,  but the first TSH test I had was "normal"-4.5.  (Actually
the normal levels have changed since then and that probably isn't normal anymore.)
I had symptoms but wasn't gaining weight at that time (I used to be normal weight).
  Two years later, my TSH was 13 or so and I was obese by then.   I guess what I am
trying to say is, keep getting it tested periodically even if it comes out normal.
Good luck, Julie
