Thyroid, HRT
I asked blood technician if
TSH
, T3 and T4 were all being tested she said only
TSH
, I went to reception to ask for the T3 and T4 to be tested, I was told they have a new system and its a thyroid panel test and it tests
TSH
, T3 and T4 now if this is correct I think my GP surgery is doing well as I know

interpreting results
I’m fine interpreting the results of the vitamins and minerals, and I also understand that the higher the
TSH
the more underactive you are, and the lower the number, the more overactive you are, ideally
TSH
needs to be between 1 and 2…..

Would love some advice
I have read that ideally the
TSH
should ideally be below 2 (it has been between 3 -5 since 2013) and T3 should be taken. I am desperate to feel well and want to give myself the best chance to get well.

Disappointing phone consult & raised TSH on meds
Just had a frustrating 10 min call now where he wasn’t bothered by the raised
TSH
at all. “We don’t medicate until it’s 10 or over” he said. But I’m already on meds - and the
TSH
is climbing. Without him being bothered.

Help with test results including vitamins
Levo reduced by doctor due to suppressed
TSH
I persuaded her not to reduce again which she wanted to do by taking in last blood results with t4 and t3. I always felt well on 100 Levo and 10 t3 for thirty years.

Unexplained bruising?
I had thyroid tested pre and during pregnancy as through fertility testing I’d found elevated antibodies (medichecks) and T4 and
TSH
always came back normal. Recent results attached. If anyone has any advice for what I should ask my doctor in follow up appointment that would be helpful please.

Latest TFT Results
TSH
0.07 Range 0.27 - 4.2 FT4 26 Range 12 - 22 FT3 4.3 Range 3.1 - 6.8 Could it be that a reduction in levo is required? Could it be poor conversion? I started taking the selenium to assist in the conversion but still think the ft3 result could be better.

T3 dosing advice
Or with the
TSH
being low would I increase the T3 whilst dropping the levo to 75mcg? I prefer my T4 sitting where it is at 18ish but worried about being "hyper" if I increase T3 and leave the levo dose. Thanx!

Trying to learn again
Can anyone tell me why they test
tsh
when your on medication if it really serves no purpose. Isn't the free t3 and free t4 the main goal.

Can anyone please offer advice?
In 2019 my son had
Tsh
over reference (5.99) but when they retested it had lowered and they said all fine. I have added a pic of his recent results and his
TSH
is higher end again. Does anyone think he may have thyroid issues. Please help! Any advice appreciated.

TSH
