Help with tests, please.

I've just had blood tests back 6 weeks after having a baby and just want to check if they're ok as this is all new to me still. My TSH is now really low and FT4 is lowish. I am currently taking 75mcg of levo.

FT4 18.0 (12.0-22.0)

Congratulations, Carrotcake, Boy or Girl?

TSH 0.53 is good. FT4 is still a bit low. If dose was increased to 75mcg after those results TSH will drop a little and FT4 will rise.

Thank you, I had a little boy

I started on the 75mcg about 8 weeks ago now. I'm pleased my TSH has gone down and i'm certainly feeling better now. Just confused why the FT4 hasn't gone up.

Carrotcake, it has gone up from March
