Hello, I have been doing pretty well as far as my thyroid is concerned I thought but just had the results of the Medichecks blood test and would appreciate guidance.

Current thyroid meds: levothyroxine 75mg daily

Results

TSH 2.37 (range 0.27-4.2)

my last test in October 2020 was 1.6 (range 0.4 - 4.90)

Free T3 4.20 (range 3.1 - 6.8)

last test in October 2020 was 3.9 ((range 2.4-6)

T4 19.3 (range 12-22)

last test in October 2020 13.7 (range 9-19)

B12 active >150 pmol/l (range 37.5 - 188)

serum folate 10.78 (range > 3.89)

ferritin 205 (range 13-150)

last test in October 2020 was 134 (range 10-300)

magnesium 0.90 (range 0.66-0.99)

Vitamin D 169 (range 50-200)

My plan: I cant afford to see an endo again just yet, and my GP is useless with thyroid so i am thinking of increasing to 100mg daily and re-test in 3 months. When as when I was last on 100mg daily in 2019 my TSH was 0.08, Free T3 - 3.8 and T4 - 16. Gp advised to reduce dose.

Thoughts welcome, thank you

HelloI don't have any features of undermedication but I thought it is better if TSH is less than 1. it was 0.16 when I was taking 100mg and 75mg on alternate days but my GP said it was too much and to go to 75mg. I might check in with my endocrinologist in due course if I do a retest in 3 months. Haven't seen in for a few years and don't want to waste money!
