Low fT4 in early pregnancy
I recently had my thyroid results and my fT4 is very low 11.8 in an NHS blood test. FT3 was low but in range from my previous private full panel (in my bio). My Levothyroxine has already been increased from 100mg to 125mg in the last few weeks and this seemed to have brought my fT4 up from 10.5 to 11.8

Could anyone give advice on latest results pls
Having had my T4 reduced from 100mcg to 50mcg, I finally managed to get it increased from 50mcg to 75mcg. The latest test results are below, and I'd be interested in opinions. I feel I should increase back to 100mcg, and I think my results show room for improvement? I currently take 50mcg T3 & 75mcg

Goitrogens
I've just discovered that there is a group of foods called Goitrogens. Every day I have a berry and Kale smoothy - thinking myself to be very healthy. Now I find out that large amounts of uncooked berries and Kale can cause hypothyroidism and restrict the beneficial effects of Levothyroxine and T3.

I want to give up. I have no energy to keep going.
Hi all, I've been suffering for the past many years. Since 2022 everything went downhill and I had to quit my job as I can't function. I'm 40 years old. I was tested for everything under the sun and everything is down to thyroid. I have Hashis. I have tried many med combos, everything fails on me. Recently

Advice on latest bloods please
I want to increase T4 by 25mcg, based on symptoms and previous history of feeling great at 100mcg. As I take T3 my TSH is obviously suppressed and I really thought that I'd got the doc on side. However, the lab report has warnings all over the TSH result, and the doc wants to talk to me! [i]TSH result

advice on my mam's test results please
My mother (67yrs old) has finally taken a private blood test, after countless dismissals from her doctor that her symptoms are due to 'just getting older' 🙄. She is not on any medication. She does take many vitamins, but I don't have a list. TSH 3.56 mIU/L (0.27 - 4.2) 83.7% Free T4 (fT4) 14.41

Assistance with T3 source please
Hi would appreciate if anyone can assist with a reliable T3 source please. Ideally I am looking for tabs that I can split into small doses i.e. 5cmg as extra T3 to take (and titrate slowly upwards) alongside my morning dose of T4/T3. Posting this in line with the moderators rule of this forum below

Is it B12 anemia? I’m confused.
Hello all, I’m new here and not sure if I need to pursue some concerns I have with my health so wondered if anyone could possible give me some advice/guidance. I’ve always been tired, (it’s a family joke!), struggled with gut issues (mainly constipation), and in the last 5 or so years had terrible brain

Binding globulins...
Anyone got a good handle on these, please? The reason I ask is that I have had 3 months of increasingly debilitating fatigue. I take T3 only and was on 100mcg, which took me 70% through the range, I have also tried 125mcg which takes me well over the top, but still tiredddddd. I have tested cortisol

Levo with someprazole and bisoprolol
Is there any reason why I cannot take Levothyroxine at the same time as esomesprazole and Bisoprolol? I KNOW Levo should be taken an hour before anything else but just want to know if anything in these other meds would prevent thyroxine uptake. Thank you.
