Biotin and hormone blood tests

[Endofitall]

I’ve only just found out that Pregnacare conception max, that I used for ages, contains Biotin, which can affect blood hormone readings when you have tests for things like thyroid function, and even AMH! So they can make your TSH look lower and AMH look lower (and even HCG appear lower, and its in Pregnacare Max too) I had no idea.

I was never asked or warned about Biotin when having bloods. Just thought it was interesting and wondered if others already knew.

I’m going to retest my TSH asap as I thought it was really well controlled but maybe it’s higher than it should be and was just masked…

It’s great that you’re planning to retest to get a clearer picture! Hopefully, you’ll get some accurate numbers now that you’re aware. Sending lots of good vibes your way for the retest! xx
