I have looked at your profile but there's no history shown.

There is no antibody test but I do hope you are on levothyroxine as your TSH is sky high at 62.1 and Free T4 is below range at 1.7.

You must be feeling pretty bad. You don't need antibodies to be hypothyroid but you are hypo according to your results.

Thanks. I am on 50mg levo since this test, my first test. Unfortunately I had a blood test on monday to check levels but accidentally took a double dose the day before

Usually we have a blood test every six weeks when newly diagnosed with a rise in levothyroxine.

Hopefully your results will be o.k. after taking a double dose as it could rebound and your dose not increased.

If it does, ask for a retest, say you messed up your medication.

Hi all. I got dose increased to 75. Now my tsh is 13. But they still haven't tested for antibodies even though I keep requesting it. So frustrating
