You're probably under-medicated. 120 mcg Armour... That's 2 grains, isn't it? Not much of a dose. And, if you're a bad converter, that little bit of T3 - 18 mcg - isn't going to do much. But, to confirm all that, you need to get copies of your lab results.

May I ask why you're having a hysterectomy? If you were properly medicated for hypo, you possibly wouldn't need one.

I think you should get labs done, first, to see exactly where you are. :)

Greygoose I had my labs done on 27th June and this was the results (the letter that my Endo sent to my GP) as I was 90mcgs then and my Endo upped it to 120mcgs

FT3 has normalised FT3 remain low TSH remains suotessed
