Hi, so following advice on here and in consultation with my GP we upped my Levo to see if we could achieve more optimal levels. Could I please ask your thoughts? Am I converting properly?

Thanks in advance

I had a similar test done at the GPs (but they wouldn't do antibodies hence the medichecks one) on 11th Jan and got the following:

FT3 - 4.6 pmol/L [3.1 - 6.8]

Serum free T4 level 17.9 pmol/L [12.0 - 22.0]

Serum TSH level 0.18 mIU/L [0.27 - 4.2]

[SlowDragon Administrator]

Free T4 (fT4) 20.1 pmol/L (12 - 22) 81.0%

Free T3 (fT3) 5.1 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 54.1%

What were most recent iron and ferritin results

[EllsBells591 in reply to SlowDragon]

Serum ferritin level 68 ug/L [13.0 - 150.0]

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to EllsBells591]

Full iron panel…….retest 3-4 times a year when self supplementing.

It’s possible to have low ferritin but high iron

Test early morning, only water to drink between waking and test. Avoid high iron rich dinner night before test

Stop iron supplements 5-7 days before test
