Thyroid/Vitamin results - Pregnant

[GeekyMummy]

Hello, thanks for you replies to my last post

I thought I would post again once I had my results back, I only received these yesterday.

I received another set of bloods done for TSH and T4 from the Endo clinic. I fasted for all the bloods I had taken that day.

Thyroid

TSH - 0.32miu/L (range 0.30-5.00)

T4 - 14.1pmol/L (range 11-22)

Serum iron level -

13.9 umol/L

10.0 - 33.0

Serum transferrin -

2.63 g/L

2.50 - 3.80

Unsat iron binding capacity -

66 umol/L

36 - 77

Transferrin saturation index -

21 %

N/A (no range)

Serum ferritin -

26 ug/L

10 - 291

Normal

Serum Folate - 24ug/L (range <5.4ug/L)

Previous folate in November 2017 was 12.2ug/L (abit confused as on this test it says >5.4ug/L is fine)

Serum vitamin B12 - 292ng (range 181-910)

Previous B12 in November 2017 was 338ng so has gone lower.

The doctor insisted that he wouldn't run a Vitamin D test due to me being on 10,000 IU for 6 months and 1,000IU per day since then. He point blank wouldn't run the test.

I am slightly worried about the high folate as I only take 400IU of Folate (not folic acid) per day. This could be because my B12 is lower and isn't helping to convert the folate as it should. But I have read folate is usually only an issue if it is 4 to 5 times higher than the reference range in women. I have seen other NHS reference ranges be anything below 20ug/L is fine, so that would mean I am only slightly higher than normal.

I am now also 13+2 days pregnant and so far so good apart from the extreme tiredness and the usual!

Any insight in to the blood results would be good. Doctors haven't rang me, I have patient access so saw the results online last week. My Kidney creatinine is also abnormal (low) as is Serum UREA level (low).

Thanks for any replies in advance.

Hi My brain isn't in good working order today so I found it hard to focus on all the info in your post - but I would be concerned to get your Vit D tested even if you have to pay for a private blood test to do so. It can be toxic if you are over range, and you were on a high dose for some time. That's rubbish of your doc to not check it out Also, I would post again, perhaps with a link to this post, so that more people see it so that you hopefully get some more input (from someone whose brain is working lol). Good luck
