Hi

You need to order the tests over the phone and give Thyroid UK as your practitioner. I assume this is with Genova? You CANNOT order the tests online. :)

Ok thanks, so I call them and I don´t need a code? Only mention Thyroid UK?

Yeah, just mention Thyroid UK

yes it is Genova

And how do you have your blood drawn when u have the kit? I am planning to take it to the nurse at my GPs when having next labs in two weeks time and kindly ask her if she is willing to help.

Yes, you can try that. Or approach your local Private Hospital. Or there are some suggestions on the Genova Information:

There is also a company that will come to you:

That's what I did and the nurse was fine about it. You need to get fT3 done at the same time if you are interested in the ratio between ft3 and rt3 :) xx

Thanks to both of you. And where do I find someone who can help with the ratio? Can any of you?

Hi sannak, the T3-rT3 ratio calculator can be found here:

You need to make sure that you put the correct unit of measure as it appears on your test results, when you get them.
