We always advise leaving 24 hours between last dose of Levo and blood draw. So take tomorrow's dose immediately after the blood draw.
Also, do the test fasting - have breakfast when you get home - but you can have water (just water, no caffeine containing as it can affect TSH.
thank you, I would love to post my results to see what you make of them, I am struggling with losing weight as well
Here's some advice. FWIW verywellhealth.com/optimum-...
Hi MARZY1969,
Yes leaving taking thyroid meds until after your test. It gives a more accurate reading.
All the best
