Hello

I am trying to conceive

.

I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism in January. (Latest results below)

In January my Active B12 was 57 - my b12 was around 380 and GP said normal!! I started supplementing 1000mcg Methylcobalamin a day and also started a b-complex however its only increased to 65. I dont really have any symptoms but i have been trying to conceive for 12 months. Do i need to up my dose??

TSH - 2..12 down from 5.5 i initially was 1.9 in April

T3 - 4.54 up from 4.29

T4 15 up from 12

Thyroglobulin Antibodies 269 down from 286

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 106 down from 124

Vit D increased from 41 in January - to 148 (been following vit d protocol)

Folate dropped from 19 to 10 could this be because i switched to folate?

CRP dropped from 3.87 to 3.7 - still cant get it lower.

Ferrin 257 it was 230 in january which was concerning however ferritin blood test from gp was 147ug/l in January so dont no what to think. GP has agreed to retest.

Any thoughts?

Thank you x
