Large follicles on day 1 of period
Good morning all, It has been some time since my last update. I could not start IVF in August because my TSH was over 3, still waiting for it to go below 2.5. I did go to check follicles today, day 1 of my period and the doctor found 4 , 3 out of those are around 13, 15, and 17mm. She said they looked

I guess my thyroid is "fixed"
At least as far at the gp will be concerned...unless she trys to take the levothyroxine off me TFT results on patients taking thyroxine are technically validated. Suggest contact Consultant or Clinical Scientist for advice. Serum TSH level 0.22 mIU/L [0.27 - 4.2]; Below low reference limit Serum free

Low T4 & T3 1st Endo follow up soon
Hi I’ve posted here several times & had enormous amount of help from all on this group. I had a partial Thyroidectomy in 1995 & have taken Thyroxine since 1997. I started with symptoms of exhaustion in 2010 after a virus & never really recovered. They got progressively worse which my GP diagnosed depression

T3 Progress - next steps?
Since my last post https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/150772561/levo-up-t3-down I have started taking Thybon Henning to optimise my T3 with some success.
Currently taking 10 mgs T3 at night,
and have dropped my levo from 125 to 100. T3 has gone to 4.7 from 4 but I understand it should

Advice please
Hello I am new here and a bit confused and overwhelmed but hoping to get some advice and reassurance from folks who have been walking the path of hypothyroidism. To be clear from the outset I do not have a diagnosis and am not sure that this is where I'm heading. For context, I had parathyroid surgery

Is this poor conversion?
Hi all, it's been a while since I posted. My thyroid results are just in and these are the results and GP want to speak to me. They were done 1st thing in morning before food and didn't take my 175mg of Levothyroxine that morning. TSH has been 0.05 for years. I think I'm not converting T3 properly now

Adrenal Fatigue 😩

I've had problems ( as I'm sure many of you have) with balancing Adrenal and Thyroid Glands. #I have been taking Nutricolgy Adrenal Natural Glandular - 100 mg per day.

High Cortisol and unusually higher TSH blood test results.
I have not felt well for a couple of weeks and the duty GP reduced my Levothyroxine dose after an incorrectly taken blood test at hospital (wrong time and not long enough after taking levothyroxine medication). My TSH from that poorly conducted test being 0.23 miu/L, which was not as low as I was

odd results help understanding them please
I had bloods taken. TSH is 1.27 a little low for me but my T4 (FREE) is 23.5 denoted as high since it was above the normal scale. Can someone help interpret these results? I asked for the full thyroid panel including T3 but of course they didn’t do the tests. Thank you.

What my GP said 🤔
Just got me thyroid test results. TSH 0.01 ( 0.3-5.0) T4 5.7 pmol (7.9-16.0l T3 3.5 (3.8-6.0) These are all below reference range so abnormal. GP will retest in 6 weeks and may consider prescribing Thyroxine if needed. Told me my thyroid is suppressed. How can it be suppressed if the levels are all
