These are my new bloods taking 50 levo (started on 25) & I'm lower through the ranges than before I took it 😔Should I up it myself before I see the doctor next month?

Vitamin D 94

Ferritin 93

B12 157

Folate >20

No ratio provided, have requested them?

Cholesterol has gone down as has HbA1c, thank you all so much x

Your conversion is good...

Free T4 (fT4) 14.9 pmol/L (12 - 22) 29.0%

Free T3 (fT3) 4.3 pmol/L (3.1 - 6.8) 32.4%

T4:T3 Ratio 3.465 

and yes you will need another increase as 50mcg is still a starter dose, it rather depends if you raise it yourself and then your GP tests they may not agree to increase as your TSH will have further dropped and they will disregard your private results.... it rather depends how your relationship with your GP is...

Thank you, my GP is new (very good so far!) Won't "rock the boat" & wait! Really appreciate your reply x

Probably the best idea, looking back you haven't been on this dose for 8 weeks yet having reduced back to 37.5mcg
