Ft3. 5.8 (3.5-6.5)

Ft4 17 (12-23)

these are on 87 t4 +25

Do you think it would abe good idea increasing t3 to 30 ? To see if I feel better and easier to divide pills.

These are the same results that you posted 3 months ago here:

Have you not tested since then?

Did you change either of your doses?

No I haven't tested and haven't changed dose.

No I don't think it would be a good idea.More does not equal better necessarily. It is about harmony and balance .

Your ft4 is at 50% and your ft3 is somewhere around the 77% mark.

If I were to change anything I would be adding 12.5 levo.

But won't that increase ft3 too?

Yes slightly depending on how well you convert but not nearly as much as adding in another 5mcg of T3.
