When did you take last dose of Levo before the test? Should be 24 hours before the blood draw.

Are your nutrients at optimal levels:

Vit D = 100-150nmol/L

B12 - top of range for Total B12, if Active B12 is tested then 100 plus

Folate - at least half way through range

Ferritin - half way through range although some experts say the optimal level for thyroid function is 90-110ug/L

Optimal nutrient leves are needed for good conversion.

Do you take any supplements?

Did you take a biotin supplement or B Complex or hair/nail supplement in the week before the test?

So sorry for duplicate post.

I Toil the test with a 24 hours lag (empty tummy).

I am taking all supplements, B complex, Vit D, Iron, Vit C, Biotin, selenium, zinc and magnesium every day.

Vitam levels are all normal.

However, suffering from hair loss quite a bit. Not sure if I am perimenopausal as 46 yes old.

Many thanks 😊 🙏

Hopefully that means there was 24 hours between last dose of Levo and test.

I am taking all supplements, B complex, Vit D, Iron, Vit C, Biotin, selenium, zinc and magnesium every day.

Did you continue taking the B Complex or did you leave it off for 3-7 days before the test?

Vitam levels are all normal.

What are the actual results/ranges. "Normal" just means they are somewhere within the range which may or may not be optimal.

Just to let everyone know:

When using that converter, the idea is that you press the green [ Copy ] button - then go to your post and paste it (Ctrl+V, or Command+V, or whatever works on your device).

FT4: 19 pmol/l (Range 12 - 22) 70.00%

Then do the same for the next results, etc.

Posting as images can make it difficult to read. I certainly find it at the limit of legibility on my phone.

Which brand of levothyroxine are you currently taking

How long on this dose

Do you have autoimmune thyroid disease, also called Hashimoto’s

Are you on strictly gluten free diet

Important to stop taking any supplements that contain biotin a week before all blood tests as biotin can falsely affect test results

Please add vitamin results and antibodies results
