Hi there guys, i am due my thyroid blood tests again this friday and have very just recently started to take liquid iron, im sure i read a reply somewhere on this forum thatvit was suggested leave off iron supplements for 5 days before testing??

Rmichelle,

You should leave off supplementing iron 7-10 days before you have an iron or ferritin blood test. It's not necessary to stop supplementing iron to have a thyroid function test.
