When to have my last T3 only dose before blood test.

I couldn't get an early appointment with the new endo. My appointment is at 2.10p.m. Would it be OK to take my 6.30a.m. dose?

Also, could anyone tell me in a percentage form, how much higher or lower the afternoon FT3 result would be, compared to my last FT3 result taken at 8.15a.m.?

Ta!😊

Always take meds AFTER blood tests.
