Combination therapy T4 + T3
Hi, since 2 weeks I started to take 10 mcg T3/ 2 days on top of my daily levothyroxine. I remember my periodic cycle was 24 days instead of 28 days when TSH was rising before. Today I was surprised to get my period at d23?! I am confused again. Was expecting the opposite.

This is confusing
Hi guys, So I have battled for as long as I've been underactive with high LDL cholesterol, high trigs too of 3. And by high I mean over 8. It is currently at 7.2. I've read that high cholesterol is apparently directly linked to being on inadequate dose of levothyroxine and cholesterol levels will improve

So girding my loins, GP's in morning,
So have an appointment with GP at 11 am tomorrow. Now this was supposed to be about pain/discomfort ? RA. Of course they are bit sneaky and lots of other tests were included, but we aren't daft are we, we check first. So Thyroid bloods , TSH 0.01 (0.27-4.20) FT4 21.6 (12-22) as usual no FT3

Thyroid meds before blood test
i am doing an advanced thyroid blood test tomorrow before a check up with endocrinologist. I take 100 levothyroxine per day in the morning with 10mcg T3 ( Thybon henning) . I know not to take the levo tomorrow before my blood test but what happens with the T3. Thanks

Covid and under active thyroid
I have just had covid for first time, and it hit me pretty badly, like a bad flu. My glands felt really swollen during it, particularly before, and still do. I'm also so tired. Sleeping a lot. Feel sluggish. Fat for no reason and constipated. This is all the feeling for me that my thyroid is under

Experiment to switch from Metavive to levothyroxine
On 23rd September 2022 I started to gradually introduce levothyroxine and reduce Metavive until I was on only levo to see if I could manage on this alone. [see post Raising TSH from 11 months ago]. I had hoped to see if I converted T4 to T3 adequately but had to do it myself as my GP wouldn't help with

Recent blood test results
I decided to discontinue Levothyroxine because it has never made me feel better since I started taking it in 1994- decided on the 7th Sept 2023 to take NDT Thyroid S - full thyroid blood test done end Oct results below. TSH is too low because I increased NDT too quickly to 2 grains- I have now reduced

Asymmetrical Transport of Thyroxine Across Human Term Placenta
This new study https://pure.eur.nl/en/publications/asymmetrical-transport-of-thyroxine-across-human-term-placenta is behind a paywall. I have a copy, it’s not easy to follow but essentially says little T4 crosses the full term placenta from mother to baby but T4 rapidly crosses from baby to mother.

Blood test results
Hi everyone, Been here a few times as I try and get my thyroid/iron levels good while TTC. Was pleased recently when my iron went up finally but now it, and my other thyroid levels, seem to have got worse. I'm not sure if this is because the test was taken on the last day of my period - would that

Eye brow hair loss
Hi, a few days ago I posted my story on this forum. Today I would like to focus on one problem in particular, eye brow hair loss. I always had rather thin and far from perfect eye brows, but since I had my surgery it got much worse. I feel very bad and embarrassed about it 😞 I understand that
