After that, every 6 month blood test showed TSH and

Back again !!
On 8th April 2024 I had a blood test as I was feeling tired and generally under par, tested my TSH 3.7 ( 0.27-4.2) T4 12.6 (12-22) so my dr increased my Levothyroxin to 75mcg. I felt a little bit better but had another blood test on 5th June and my result was TSH 3.01 and my T4 13.7 I'm feeling tired

Latest blood tests - low T3
What to do next? Advice welcome please š Hi all, I 've been on 75 mcg levo for about 9 weeks. Results since January show conversion mostly dropping as I increase Levo. I just retested, after waiting a few weeks to see if symptoms settled. Test results in photo. Endo could see conversion wasn't good

Book on hypothyroidism as I wait for Levo to kick in?
Hi all, and thanks for having me here. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in October and started on 25mg Levo per day. Last week I saw my GP for (I think) an unrelated matter. She looked at my blood results from December (TSH 2.35, down from 4.39 in October, and T4 9.2, up from 7.9 in October) and

unusual test results
why would my T3 be high in the range with T4 mid range? After a few hard months of GP changing my meds Iām now back up to 175mcg of Levo. Just had my results and they are nothing Iāve had before itās always T4 above my T3 .Just wondering why and what might have caused this ? TSH. 0.11 0.55-4.78

New to Levo, question about TSH aim
I've been taking Levo 50mg per day for 3 months, and just had the first blood test result back. My TSH is at 2.85, and they are saying that I should stay on this dose and get tested again in a year. The last test before I started medication (January) my TSH was 8.6, T4 12.8. Both were done first thing
