Blood test protocol for Thyroid levels
Hi, just need some advice on doing Thyroid blood tests in the evening. I have seen the protocol for doing it in the morning before 9am and on an empty stomach etc. What about if your taking your T4 medication before bedtime at 11pm after eating your last meal 4 hours before. Do you take your blood

feel awful
just over 2 weeks ago went diwn to 2 mg prednisolone from 50 in august 2022. Nothing seems to be going right now. After many many years of 75 mg thyroxine daily for under active thyroid was told to cut down to 50 mg daily. Also became diabetic with Pred. & have been taking 2 500 mg metformin daily

advice needed please re iron and thyroxine
hi there, I’d really appreciate some advice. I’ve been on Thyroxine for a number of years and have been fine, I’ve just been told that I have Anaemia and have started on Ferrous Fumarate tabs 210 mg. I’ve started to feel tearful and anxious this last week and wonder if the iron is affecting my thyroid

Struggling introducing T3
Hi all, I knew I’d be back before too long as I’m totally useless when it comes to introducing T3! Bit annoying as I obviously need it. Here are my results when I was on 87.5mcg Levo daily with no T3. TSH 0.007 (0.27-4.2) Free T3 4.1 (3.1-6.8) Free thyroxine 23.1 (12-22) Over the last couple

Help with test results including vitamins
I have just had test results from Blue Horizon including vitamins. I take 75 Levothyroxine and 10 t3 self sourced. Levo reduced by doctor due to suppressed TSH I persuaded her not to reduce again which she wanted to do by taking in last blood results with t4 and t3. I always felt well on 100 Levo and

Pregnancy test line progression?
Hi, We are on our 6th round of ivf. Second transfer - frozen hatching embryo. We started testing day 4 (evening) and it is now day 6. We took ovidrel 250 13 days ago- could this line be the trigger? We are also wondering if its chemical as it came up early and we are paranoid it is slightly fading

Postpartum thyroiditis?
Hi everyone, Just a bit of a random one. So I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Dec 2023 (7 months postpartum). It was a bit of a shock tbh. I since found out about Postpartum thyroiditis and wondered if my diagnosis was related to that and would somehow sort itself out in a year - 18 months? I'm

Test results. Can you advise please.
After great advice on this forum regarding my thyroid nodules, I requested from my GP surgery the same tests as are provided in the Blue Horizon Golden Thyroid Test. The clinician seemed to want to help and I thought almost everything would be tested. However, these are my results and, as is clear

please help with figuring out what is wrong
I posted recently that my Mom’s Hemoglobin is dropping, same as RBC and Hemocrit, while MCV and MCH are high. She was diagnosed with Macrocytic Anemia but doctors can’t figure out the cause. The hematologist did bone marrow biopsy, PET scan and over 50 blood test, all normal except for Copper and Ferritin

T3 only worth another PROPER go?
Okay so I made a post last year about being unable tolerate t3 only but I’m actually wondering if I jumped onto t3 mono too quickly and gave up too fast? (Which many others pointed out but at the time I was so unwell I could barely think straight) Prior to starting T3 only back then I was on a too

reduced thyroxine
Hi all I upped my levo to 112 mcg based on weight and asked here about it and it was said it’s not really recommended! So went back to 100mcg daily. I woke up yesterday feeling really dizzy and not balancing well 😟 I’m wondering if this has anything to do with reduction? Many thanks

Testing protocol
Hi, I'm about to test my T3 and T4, 6 weeks after starting lio. I know that I need to leave 24 hours between my last levo dose and the 9am test (taking my levo straight afterwards). But what about the lio timings? I currently take 10mcg in one dose upon waking. The test is a private test and won't be

Results after 14 weeks on Armour
Hello, so I've been on Armour for 14 weeks now and these are my current bloods: TSH - 0.007 T4 - 13.7 (12-22) T3 - 6.3 (3.3 - 6.8) My doctor (private specialist) said ideal bloods on Armour would be T4 12-14 and T3 5.5-6.5, and TSH would be suppressed. So going by that, it seems my bloods are pretty
