I'm now on 3 grains of Thiroyd (and have been for four months now) so I thought it was time to recheck my blood test results:
TSH 0.10 (0.27 - 4.20)
Free T3 4.86 (3.1 - 6.8)
Free T4 11.41 (12 - 22)
Ferritin 78.0 (20-150)
Folate 17.26 (10.4-42.4) I'd forgotten to restart my B complex, so this has dropped way down - my bad
B12 - >1476
TPoAb 233.1 (<34)
TgAb 552.1 (<115)
My T4 and T3 now look the same as when I was on only 2 grains, although they had both risen when I was 2.5 grains. My guess is it may be down to the fact that the antibodies seem to be going a bit loopy and I may now have to cut out gluten, which I've resisted up until now for the sake of not trying to change too much at once.
Overall I feel a lot better than I have done for a while but was sort of feeling that I may have to think about a dose increase as feel a slight backwards step with my pulse and temperature having lowered slightly.
All my tests have been done on a fasting basis first thing in the morning with no medication taken that day.
Any thoughts/pointers/advice would be, as always, greatly appreciated.

I wasn't sure if that was an option as the last dose increase seems to have decreased both the FT3 and FT4 which didn't make any sense to me. Maybe once I cut out the gluten, everything will start to come together a bit more :\
