Do I need to increase Levo

Hi

I've had a lot to say today lol and a lot of results to process. Poor old thyroid has been rather forgotten. TSH has increased to.10 range (.27 to 4.2). FT4 was a rather measley 14 (12-22). No FT3 this time as this was an NHS test. Guessing it wouldn't be earth shattering though as I'm only on Levo.

Have to say I'm surprised at my FT4, it was previously 17.1 in December. I'm wondering if my dire folate is dragging it down, or possibly vitamin D if that's low again.

Shall I Increase Levo? Thanks for putting up with all my posts today 😄
