Blood test timings help please

Hi all, I haven't been on the site for a while as everything is reasonably settled with my thyroid health. I have changed the timing's on when I take my meds. I take 100mg levothyroxine at 10pm, 10mcg Liothyronine at 7am and 5mcg Liothyronine at 4pm. This spread is working great for me, but I am still monitoring my levels and wanted advice on when to do my blood test. I would be grateful 🙏

The recommended timing is 24 hours for Levo & 8-12 hours for T3 prior to blood test.

For future reference there is a pinned post with dose timings before blood tests.
