Next Endo Meeting, T3...
I am going to ask my Endocrinologist for a trial of T3 at my next meeting, as it was suggested by them at my last meeting that if my last dose change didn't help, they would recommend a trial on the basis of significant persistent symptoms. What should I know about this, and what questions are wise

Was I even pregnant?
Hi, this is a strange question I have but are the HCG strips accurate? I came to know I was pregnant through 4 strip tests which all came positive, got confirmation from fertility nurse over email that those are positive. I also got bloods done which confirms I ovulated as well.I started bleeding at

Endo recommendation Tunbridge Wells
Hi everyone. My first post for many years so I’m now very out of date on everything as I’ve been happily ticking along for ages taking a combination of thyroxine and T3 and keeping my TSH levels quite low. I’ve recently been referred back to endo to confirm the T3 prescription and for some adrenal

ferratin blood level
Hi, I’ve got a ferritin level of 40.5 (30 - 169) To me this is low isn’t it? Also I have been taking spatone iron sachets for 6 months so would you say I’d need a higher iron supplement? If so could anymore please advise on a decent one ?

5 failed ET from first cycle. recurrent implantation failure.
I had 5 embryos as part of my first cycle, transferred 1 fresh and 2 single transfers and the last one a double transfer. All failed. My doctor has me on manufactured cycle for the last 3 and on steroid,antibiotics and low dose aspirin and did hcg fusion on the last 2. I am going to do another cycle

Blood results update
Hello, I'm preparing to request another prescription of levo. I have been taking 100mcg consistently and I feel ok on it (i.e. well enough to not want to mess about with levels). GP keeps telling me I am overmedicated and has put me down to 25mcg so I have been sourcing privately. Here are my latest

Good source of t3
Has anyone sourced their own T3 or is the best option a prescription from a Dr? I'm 10 years from having total thyroidectomy. T4 only suppression treatment for Papillary Cancer. I've established, through another post and my blood results, that my T4 percentage isnt good and my coversion to T3 is poor

Headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy
Hi, does anyone else get headaches and nightmares on T3 monotherapy? I have read the side effects leaflet and it states that 'headache' and 'insomnia' are two of the side effects; since I have been on T3 only I often wake up in the night and have a very light sleep compared to what I am used to, then

Latest results on armour
I’ve just been sent some results by my private doc. She asked that I swap from 50 Levo/6 t3 at the beginning of June to 2 grains of armour. After 3 weeks I hit a wall and have reduced it to 1 grain and now 1/2 grain fro the past week as I just felt so awful on it. Any thoughts welcome. TSH: 0.025 (

Restarting T3
Hi, I’m restarting T3 tomorrow after I do a finger prick test tomorrow to see what my thyroid levels are like after being off T3 since the end of January. I’m starting on a quarter tablet. How often should I raise the amount? And after how long should I get my levels tested? Thanks

Thyroid Cancer Reoccurrence?

Hypo energy 'crashes' on a daily basis?
I am currently taking 125 mcg Levo and 10mcg T3 daily. I take the meds together around 2pm. Having finally got relief from so many symptoms (eg fatigue, muscle pains, zombie brain, low mood etc) recently, I am experiencing almost daily energy 'crashes'. They are quite overwhelming. I get a headache

Heme vs Non-Heme Iron Supplements
Since being diagnosed with low ferritin three months ago, I've been on ferrous sulfate tablets (1 - 65mg along with 500 mg vitamin C twice a day with meals). It's been working fine (went from 11 to 45 in a month) without any side effects. However, early on, I purchased a bottle of Three Arrows Heme after

As requested here are the results of my second attempt at Monitor my Health at their more sophisticated tests with thyroid, anemia/ ferritin, b12/ folate etc too.
