I don't feel

I just want to say thanks to all of you who have helped me recently. I had a really good appointment yesterday with a lovely Consultant who actually listened to me and let me ask questions (quite a lot) all answered well (in my opinion) 😀 Quick recap on last results a week ago TSH 0.02 (0.27)

I am taking a trial of T3/T4 combined.

Hi all, A short update after waiting for TSH to go below 2.5 and changing the clinic - I was told that due to a small number of follicles (2-3 in total) and low AMH, I am not qualified for IVF. I am sure there is someone out there with a similar case. The other clinic I had was also private but changed

Following on from my previous posts much to my surprise I met with the Endo today who had analysed all my previous results and has offered me a trial of T3 combi action therapy with close monitoring. He has proposed I reduce my levo from 150 to 75 & add 2 x 5 T3 . Having read posts on here I asked
