Need help with my results please

I have attached my recent blood results. I asked the Endo about adding T3 to my medication but she hasn’t done that. She has told me to increase the Levothyroxine to 75mcg from 50mcg. It looks like my T3 is only just in the normal range. But the thing is when I had my previous bloods done at a different lab the values were different. The previous lab showed my FT3 to be 3.1 pmol/L with the range being 4.3-8.1. So under the new lab I’m just in range but under the previous lab I’m well under range. So what do I do? I so badly need some advice as I really wanted to try adding some T3 to see if it would help me with all my thyroid symptoms. Also my TSH was 2.11 on my previous blood test and now it’s gone up to 3.0. I was previously taking my levo at 2am when I knew my stomach would be empty but then the Endo said to take it at night before I go to bed as getting up at 2am was making me tired during the day.

Can you give all the results with the ranges, please. Doesn't matter what the ranges were with the last lab, you need the ranges used by the lab that analysed your blood this time. Rangs vary from lab to lab, we can't just use any old range. :)

Well, not really, no.

Your TSH is now 3. That's clear and understandable, and it's too high.

But, for the T3 you appear to have given the last result/range, but not the latest one.

And, there's no mention of T4.

So, it's all very confusing. What we need is:

Date

TSH result (range)

FT4 result (range)

FT3 result (range)

That's the most easily understandable format. :)
