Private endos in Kent, please
My sister, early sixties, is having a lot of health problems which might be thyroid/adrenals/pituitary related. She is on a waiting list to see a NHS endo but is not diagnosed with any thyroid problem. She had a test with GP which came back TSH 3.7 and FT4 10 (but no ranges). She is considering a test

Levo dose advice during IVF cycle - impact of HRT
Hello again š Iām wondering if anyone has any insight on the impact of HRT on Levo - Estrogen & Progesterone specifically which are the medications given during a Frozen Embryo Transfer cycle. NICE says there is anecdotal evidence of a moderate interaction between the medications. The progesterone

I donāt know the scenario of these results
Hi I have just been given my TSH which is 0.20 & then the T4 11.10mcg/dl I didnāt ask for it. The lab obviously took the initiative. My GP note only said donāt worry we will test again in 8 weeks ? What would I worry about ? I have not been told what to do surely an adjustment ? My face is flushed

working out percentage of range
Apologies for very basic question but how does one work out the percentage in range of T3 & T4? I feel very stupid having to ask this! š As I posted this a very helpful post popped up with the answer. Apologies and thanks. I did try searching before posting but obviously didnāt phrase the question

Confusing result
These are my most recent results. Blood was taken first thing in the morning, fasted and before I took my medication. The lab ranges are also shown above. How can my tsh be so low and my t3 still be so low/not optimal? I'm on 150 levothyroxine. Am I right that I might need some t3? And if so, would

QQ Asking for a friend - TSH/FreeTs target on NDT the same as Levo or Levo/T3?
Hi a quick question from me today. I have a friend with hashis on NDT. Iāve stepped lightly as I observe her symptoms just arenāt getting any better, but she puts a lot of faith in her doctorsā¦ who say her thyroid panel is ānormal.ā Hasnāt wanted my opinion and experience, until today. Since Iām on

Anyone had faint positive at 12dp5dt and still had successful pregnancy?
I took a early pregnancy test yesterday morning and came back positive but the line wasn't dark. I took another one this morning and the line has gotten fainter... (I have been going to the toilet every 2 hrs this night so maybe it wasn't concentrated) . Other tests show almost negative (I really have

T3 question
Iām currently on T3 only because of bad reaction with levothyroxine. Iāve been on Liothyronine 10mcg twice a day since 11 November. I havenāt been back to the doctors for a thyroid function test since October as Iāve read frequently that on T3 only they go more on symptoms than levels. I no longer have

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

Sadly I am still not optimal yet.
In May this year after 9 months of titrating up from 25-125mcg, I thought that I was finally there. TSH was 0.808 (0.27-4.20) and FT4 was 21.5 (11-22) and agreed to test after 3 months to see if I had stabilised. Sadly just checked the NHS app as bloods were done Friday and can see that my TSH is now

test
. And I was weighed. I had lost over 5kg since August without trying. I didn't know because I have no scales. I weighed 49kg. Before this I used a scale when we went to get a new car seat for my granddaughter and that was August and I was 54.6kg.

Can an increase in thyroxine cause an upset tummy?
I was on 100mc of thyroxine for years. My GP decided to decrease my dose to 75 without any tests or discussion. When I left a message for her to tell her I felt less well on the lower dose she said to alternate 75 and 100 for three months, then get a blood test. Results showed my dose had to go back

When is the best time to take T3
Hi I collected my first prescription for T3 Liothyronine 20 mg today. All the instructions on the box tell me is to take one tablet a day. I read the instructions inside and they just say to take exactly as instructed by doctor or pharmacist. So does it matter when the tablet is taken or if it is
