Hi, just a quick question that I can't seem to find the answer to. After an increase in my T3 dose, how long should I take to do blood tests again? Thank you all in advance ☺

6 - 8 weeks.

I always wait the same time as advised for a change in Levo - 6-8 weeks - I find I need that long for all levels to settle as increasing T3 not only increases your FT3 level it can reduce your FT4 level.
