On levothyroxine 25 mcg for last 2 yrs the last... - Thyroid UK
On levothyroxine 25 mcg for last 2 yrs the last week and a half forgot to take it maybe took 2 can this alter my menstrual cycle at all
Unlikely, Firegirl. You will still have thyroxine in your system up to 8 weeks after taking your last Levothyroxine.
Have you had thryoid tests since starting on 25mcg?
Yes last test was my 6 month check up the end of January this year and was 4.0
Although 4 is in range, it is very high in range. Most people on medication feel better with TSH just above/below 1. If you still have symptoms I would ask your GP for an increase to 50mcg, which is the usual starting dose. If you feel fine, do nothing
When you see the GP it's worth asking for ferritin, vitaminD, B12 and folate to be tested. They're often low in hypothyroid patients and need to be high in range to feel well. Ask for a printout of your results and post here for comments.
That sounds like your TSH was 4.0. Just a guess - how crap do you feel? Your GP shouldn't have left you on 25mcg!
Yes TSH was 4.0 and I felt ok but over the the month feel more tired and run down faster
