Anything I should question?

How can I help my son?
Much to my dismay it seems my son has inherited autoimmune (no antibodies test done yet, but I think it is) hypothyroidism from me. I had suspected he was expressing the symptoms for some time, (he was very slim, seemingly blessed with a fast metabolism and I was on the alert that it might really be

Dr. Atkins/low carb diets and hypothyroidism
Hello, I only need to lose 8 pounds, but thought Id try a low carb diet...(MY doctor knows Im doing this)...I dont think low carb works for people with hypothyroid issues, because your thyroid needs carbs to work properly...Dr.Atkins is only 20 carbs a day...There is another low carb diet that is 40

Kidney function and hypothyroidism?
My hypothyroidism was finally acknowledged six weeks ago. I've been on 50mcg daily. I've just had the first blood test since starting treatment. My fT4 has 'risen' from 8.8% to 9.3%. My TSH has dropped below 1 (0.7) for the first time according to blood tests going back to 2007. I'm a bit disappointed

Intro and T3 query
I was diagnosed hypothyroid about 20 years ago with a TSH >100 . I've never felt well. Crushing tiredness and brain fog. A gp this week suggested antidepressants and this has made me quite angry. I was on them for years. She said anxiety causes tiredness. Hmm. It's the other way round. Am getting

Has anyone worked with Functional Thyroid Care?
My GP has withdrawn my 25mcg Levothyroxine he only just prescribed about a month ago on a trial basis because my TSH is fine. The only way I was able to persuade him to let me try 25mcg was I took him printouts from all the thyroid forums I am on and he also is aware that I have been complaining about

AMH Fluctuations
I had my AMH tested last July and it was 5pmol. I had it tested this month and it's 8.5pmol. Has anyone seen an increase like this? Took me by surprise today. I felt under pressure last year to get a move on with IVF but they've failed so far.

Raised Thyroglobulin ab
Hi. I had a total thyroidectomy and radio iodine treatment in 2016 for Papillary Ca. I've been having annual monitoring since with no concerns. My most recent blood test shows normal thyroglobulin but raised thyroglobulin antibodies at 40. My latest is TSH 0.7 and T4 in normal range. What I want to know

IVF round 2 - failed
I've tested this morning 10DP5DT & my test is stark white negative. I'm numb, disappointed, sad... I don't know what I could have done differently. My lining was good, the blast was rated good - I was really hopeful & now it's over. First round (Meriofert) was 3 mature eggs retrieved, 2 fertilised, 1

Out of range low T4 but normal TSH and T3
Hi all I was on Levothyroxine for sub clinical hypothyroidism during pregnancy. My son is now 4 months and I have been undergoing multiple blood tests to establish what the course of action should now be. My TSH and T3 are within range but my T4 is very low. I will attach results and my ranges to this

American Thyroid Association - Thyroid Hormone Testing overview
Like most documents, this has strengths and weaknesses. You might find it easier to follow than some. Though some of it really is quite hard for those not already familiar with thyroid issues. Or more up-to-date (it was published this year - 2024). And it might provide some useful and quotable

Has anyone had improved thyroid labs or reduced their thyroid medication, after optimising their ferritin, B12, folate, or vitamin D?
I'm currently on a bit of a mission to try and get my ferritin, B12, folate and vitamin D to optimal levels. I'd love to hear anyone's stories or experiences of getting these nutrients up, and then finding their TSH, T4 and T3 levels improve and/or they have to reduce their thyroid medication. It would

After 25 years on Thyroxine, blood results are now odd!
I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism 25 years ago and have been of thyroxine ever since. The TSH and T4 test were more or less in sync up to about a year ago. I am now getting high TSH (12.9miu/L) and my T4 is near the top of the limit at 19.4pmol/L. I was taking 150mg of thyroxine for many years

TSH & FT4 Levels
As a rule of thumb, should I aim to keep my TSH as low as possible and my FT4 as high as possible within the acceptable parameters ?
