Advice please!
Hi, I am feeling rather unwell, but my blood tests are 'ok' so just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I'm also very down in the dumps about it. I had Hashimotos 25 years ago, and after a long and difficult fight, managed to get my dose of Levothyroxine to 150/175mcg alternate days. Twice when

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

help to understand test results
After a year of monitoring my TSH due to a bout of subacute thyroiditis, initially suspected as thyroid cancer. I am now at a point where my GP feels medication may be required and have undertaken an extensive range of blood tests through the GP I have an appointment on the 4th July to discuss options

TRAB (TSH Receptor Antibodies)
Does anyone know where the cheapest private blood test for TSH Receptor Antibodies can be found? Most tests I see include TPO and TgAB but not TRAb or TSI Ab. Specifically looking for this test for regular monitoring after discussion with an endocrinologist.

Thyroid help!
Alright it’s been a while since I posted. I had my baby in July last year and since I’ve not been taking care of myself and forgetting my levothyroxine most mornings after sleepless nights. About 8 weeks ago I switched taking my Levo in the morning to the evening as I had more time while baby was asleep

Levo being reduced, but feeling under medicated.
Hi, I would greatly appreciate some input on my test results! I have been hypothyroid for over 17 years, and have always adhered unquestioningly to the doctor’s guidance, assuming that they were doing all they could. Having found this site, however, I am starting to wonder if there is more that can

My first results after beginning 5mcg T3. Is my FT4 & FT3 too high now?
Hello again, please could I ask for your thoughts on my new blood test (Blue Horizon Thyroid Bronze). 6 weeks ago I started taking 5mcg T3 once a day (via Roseway Labs) alongside my usual 75mcg Levothyroxine as my FT3 was on the low side. (I’m 67, only been hypothyroid for 18 months) Blood was

hyper/hypo now normal?
Hi all, I have posted previously about being diagnosed hyperthyroid and started on Carbimazole, this was stopped due to persistent neutropenia, then i swung to hypothyroid and now 7 weeks later I’ve had another blood test and everything’s normal! I feel like I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride and thrown

Alarming Thyroid Test Results :(
Hi everyone, I'm new here, nice to meet you all 🥰 I am a bit scared because I received some alarming blood test results.

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
