I'm finding it a little difficult to pick out what information I need from a wall of text. It can be easier to readif you present the numbers as a list.
Is there an FT3 number anywhere?
What dose are you on and for how long before this test?
Did you test as recommended? Fasting, time of test 9am or as close as possible, take Levo after the blood draw that day?
Hi Jaycee 1507. In January I had this result. serum Free T 3 Level 4.3 pmol/L NR 4.2 - 6.9. Also Seeum Vitamin B 12 202 ng/lLmNRb145-914.,aAlsomSerum Vitamin D 31nmol/L NR N/a. Serum Folatev4.28 ug/ L NR 3,00-20.00. serum Ferritin 117.8 ug/ L NR 11.00-307.0. Serum Irn Level 23.6 urology/L 11.0 - 32. My vitamin levels were not done as the do them every 6 months. Sorry it is a jumble. I don’t know how to get it to go one line at a time. I am on 37.5 mg levythyroxine.
You need to press the return key where you want to make a break and start the next line. The results we mainly need to see are just thyroid and vitamin results.
Januarys results are history now as you are on a different dose.
Have you ben able to start any supplements? If so, which ones?
So your FT4 is only at 30% of its range and TSH above 2. To feel well we need our TSH to be at or just under 1. You are ready for the next dose increase.
Test was done as recommended. Started levothyroxine in March 2022.

It is very difficult to read results when they are in a big block like you've put them and it can take a lot of effort to try and separate them and understand them. If you want members to help you then please consider helping them by editing your posts, or reposting your results, and put one test only on one line, eg
TSH: 2.5 (0.27-4.20)
FT4: 15 (12-22)
FT3: 4 (3.1-6.8)
I think you get the idea
If you've done a copy/paste job then the reason they've ended up all bunched up is because formatting is lost when pasting into a forum message.
All you have to do is go through your message before you press SUBMIT and press the return key between each result to start a new line.
I am more than happy to interpret results when I am able to but not when results are presented in that way, and I think that will be a problem for quite a few members.

TSH 0.79. (0.30-4.80 )
FT4: 11.9 pmol/l (Range 7.7 - 20.6)
Ft4 only 32.56% through range
You need next dose increase in Levothyroxine to 50mcg every day
Retest again in 6-8 weeks
most people when adequately treated will have Ft4 at least 60-70% through range

Haemoglobin Est 159 g/L NRb120-150 Abnormal
Haematocrit 0.48 L/L NR 0.36-0.46;abnormal
Mean Corpuscular Volume 110.4fl NR 80-100 Abnormal
high MCV.
common reasons include vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies.
You already know your B12 and folate are both far too low
Mean corpusc Haemaglobin
36.9pg NR 27-34 Abnormal

This condition can be caused by deficient levels of vitamin B-12 or folic acid in the body
Exactly what vitamin supplements are you now taking
Hello SlowDragon. I have tried the B12 spray and Vitamin D spray but get really bad side effects with both. I know I need both. I am seeing my doctor about pain on my right side which I have had on and off for three years. I think it could be my pancreas or gallbladder. I took betaine hcl to eat salmon and the pain is much worse. Something isn’t working. Doctor said my vitamin d was low but B12 is normal but we know it is not. I am going to ask him about b12 injections. I had my last injection I on February 2020 and then the numbness started in my hands and feet in March when he stopped them. The doctor spoke to haematology and they are just ringing me because they said they are not worried as they think it’s because I am not eating. The doctor is not happy because he wants me to eat gluten for a celiac test. I am seeing an endocrinologist in September. Thank you for your reply. I am going up to 50 levothyroxine in a couple of weeks after being on 37.5 for eight weeks.
Low B12 symptoms
b12deficiency.info/signs-an...
methyl-life.com/blogs/defic...
Make a list of all the symptoms you have
Push hard for B12 injections
if GP still refuses
it’s possible to get B12 to self inject
You could write a new post asking members for information
Which B12 supplement have you tried
Highly effective B12 drops
Perhaps start with just 1 or 2 drops…..then slowly increase
natureprovides.com/products...
Or
B12 sublingual lozenges
The doctor is not happy because he wants me to eat gluten for a celiac test.
Simply refuse
You know you’re gluten intolerant
It’s largely irrelevant wether it’s coeliac or gluten intolerance
Only 5% of Hashimoto’s patients test positive for coeliac
But a further 81% find (by experimenting) that they are gluten intolerant and need to be gluten free
Vitamin D
SeasideSusie has a recommendation of an oil based capsule
She might pop along with information
Are you taking any magnesium supplement ?
I don’t know what magnesium to take. Could you help me with that please.
Doctor's Best D3 oil based softgels, nice small softgel, clean supplement with just D3 and extra virgin olive oil.
For magnesium it's not possible for anyone to tell you what's best for you. There are different forms of magnesium with different benefits so you need to check and see which one is most suitable for your own needs. Check out the links:
naturalnews.com/046401_magn...
The following link is included purely to describe the different forms of magnesium, ignore the fact that it mentions calcium is necessary, calcium is only necessary if you test and found to be deficient and then your GP should address that
explore.globalhealing.com/t...
and ignore the fact that this is a supplement company, the information is relevant:
swansonvitamins.com/blog/ar...
Magnesium should be taken 4 hours away from thyroid meds and as it tends to be calming it's best taken in the evening.
ALL magnesium supplements should be at least 4 hours away from levothyroxine
Best taken afternoon or bedtime as calming and relaxing
If you suffer constipation
Calm vitality magnesium powder is good one to try
Starting with just half a teaspoon in small glass water. Can increase over next few weeks. Max is 2 teaspoons per day. Taking too much can cause diarrhoea

Alternative option
uk.iherb.com/pr/thorne-magn...
Empty capsule into cup …..dissolve in water and drink
Vitamin D and magnesium work together.
