Feeling flat
Hi everyone, just feeling so flat and low. Like a functioning shell, if that makes sense? I’m menopausal too (post) so probably isn’t helping. Only diagnosed with Hashimotos recently but have been struggling with symptoms for years. I assumed it was the menopause so took HRT but as my poor thyroid couldn

Levothyroxine dose
Hi my son has hashimotos, & has worked out that he needs 200mcg levothyroxine each day to function okay.He has suicidal ideation & emotional intensity & this dose helps him feel more stable mentally . The problem is his tsh arent showing he needs this high dose anymore so the gp has decreased it to 125mcg

The cost of IVF
How do you stop yourself worrying about the financial side of IVF? The costs, extras etc. I'm a solo mum by choice and very lucky to already have a son as a result of IUI (4th go) 2 years ago. I'm now trying for a sibling, so far 3 failed IUIs and 1 failed IVF. I'm 38 with a low-ish AMH. The cost

Advice re symptoms
Levothyroxine was reduced late September 23 from 100ug to 75ug due to TSH 0.03. Have gradually been feeling the effects of this it seems. Now feeling very tired, not thinking straight - brain fog, reduced appetite although crave chocolate (didn't know reduced appetite was symptom until very recently)

ACTH Stim test after stopping abiraterone & prednisone
Has anyone had an ACTH Stimulation test after stopping abiraterone and Prednisone to test for adrenal insufficiency? I ended 24 months of eligard, abiraterone, and Prednisone on June 4. My endocrinologist (who I had prior to prostate cancer) pushed me to have a cortisol test on June 6 even though I

Good responder but low blast rate - egg or sperm issue?
This is an update I hoped I wouldn't have to make. I arrived at the clinic for my 5-day embryo transfer yesterday full of hope. Unfortunately the embryologist said that I had only one embryo that had made it to early blast-the other six were still morulas. They transferred the early blast and kept the

Looking for suggestions
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's back in 2014. I have only been on synthroid once for about a year. It messed with my sleep and my blood pressure. So I stopped taking it and I became hooked on a sleep med to boot. My last US according to my report are referring to it as a goiter. I did have more daytime

TSH levels - and no help from clinic
Hi all - I really am a bit stuck and not sure how to proceed and would really appreciate some advice.

Some advice on new lab results please
I am a 40 year old woman and have been feeling very weird lately. I was wondering if I entered perimenopause so I had a blood draw on 21st day of my cycle. I think my progesterone is low? estradiol: 110 ng/L progesteron: 9.13 microgram/L LH: 11.7 U/L FSH: 7.9 U/L (I am not on HRT)

NHS IVF refused due to low AMH
Hi, we have been refused for IVF on NHS for my low AMH which come back at 1.25pmol/L (0.18ng/ml) and had to be a minimum of 5.4pmol/L. She also mentioned that my iron levels were high and didn’t ask if this could cause low AMH due to the upset. Do you think these could be related? She said the chance

Digestive issues
Hello. Just a quick question. Does anyone else with under active thyroid have digestive issues. Specifically upper abdominal cramps and indigestion. I have had ibs for years but everything much worse since tsh levels changed. Thanks

I don’t know the scenario of these results
Hi I have just been given my TSH which is 0.20 & then the T4 11.10mcg/dl I didn’t ask for it. The lab obviously took the initiative. My GP note only said don’t worry we will test again in 8 weeks ? What would I worry about ? I have not been told what to do surely an adjustment ? My face is flushed

Confusing result
These are my most recent results. Blood was taken first thing in the morning, fasted and before I took my medication. The lab ranges are also shown above. How can my tsh be so low and my t3 still be so low/not optimal? I'm on 150 levothyroxine. Am I right that I might need some t3? And if so, would

QQ Asking for a friend - TSH/FreeTs target on NDT the same as Levo or Levo/T3?
Hi a quick question from me today. I have a friend with hashis on NDT. I’ve stepped lightly as I observe her symptoms just aren’t getting any better, but she puts a lot of faith in her doctors… who say her thyroid panel is “normal.” Hasn’t wanted my opinion and experience, until today. Since I’m on

Sadly I am still not optimal yet.
In May this year after 9 months of titrating up from 25-125mcg, I thought that I was finally there. TSH was 0.808 (0.27-4.20) and FT4 was 21.5 (11-22) and agreed to test after 3 months to see if I had stabilised. Sadly just checked the NHS app as bloods were done Friday and can see that my TSH is now

I’ve been suffering with an itchy rash on neck and scalp since June. Had prescription steroid creams, lotions, anti histamine tablets
