MissWinky34,

The Lothian & Border ranges are particular to their analysing machine and population sample.

You need to know the ranges for the lab which analysed your bloods.

The hyphen in front of your TSH result -0.16 is simply a marker to show TSH is 0.16 which is slightly below range (usually 0.27 or 0.35). It is desirable to have TSH low to enable good FT4. FT4 20 is excellent if your FT4 range goes up to 20 or 24.

Thanks clutter. It's my own fault for not asking the lab ranges. I'm really looking forward to the endo appt to get some real clarity with this.

Hi I have seen the doctor this morning the midwife had jotted down the readings wrong. These were the actual readings and ranges

0.16 tah ranges 0.2 -2

Free t4 20.9 range: 10-20

She thinks I'm slightly over medicated but nothing to worry about. She suggested I drop down to 125 from 150 and repeat bloods in 2 weeks. She said levels would change throughout pregnancy and should be upped in 25 increments, as things may drop down after this initial pregnancy hcg stimulating spike.

Does this sound about right? Xx

They also said the keystones in my urine will be a sign of increased metabolism (hyper) have to say I don't feel hyper not have I displayed any hyper symptoms so I'm not convinced on that one.
