Blood results

[Gyp101]

I have increased my dose of Levo to 75mg and these are my post 6 week results. I still dont feel quiet right..my weigh and skin in particular.

With these results would i benefit from an increase to 100mg or a decrease back to 50mg

Thyroid Hormones

TSH 2.440 mIU/L (Range: 0.27 - 4.2)

Free T3 3.5 pmol/L (Range: 3.1 - 6.8)

Free Thyroxine 15.8 pmol/L (Range: 12 - 22)

any advice would be great please

massive thanks

Results show you are ready for next increase to 100mcg levothyroxine per day

Aiming for Ft4 at least 60-70% through range and ideally Ft3 similar

Important to test vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin too

thank you so much SlowDragon . You are a wealth of knowledge 🙂

Currently

FT4: 15.8 pmol/l (Range 12 - 22)

Ft4 only 38.00% through range

FT3: 3.5 pmol/l (Range 3.1 - 6.8)

Ft3 only 10.81% through range

So currently poor conversion rate

Likely to have low vitamin levels

Testing, improving and maintaining optimal vitamin levels will frequently improve conversion rate

I’ve got a blood test booked for my vitamin levels

Should I start my Levothyroxine increase ?

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Gyp101]
