I just got these results (picture attached). Until now I was on 5mg daily (although I have skipped one day a week ) and now I was advised to take 5mg 3x a week. My results in June were:
TSH 1.1 ( 0.465-4.68)
Free T4 8.3 (10-28.2)
Free T3 5.4 (4.3-8.1)
haemoglobin 121 (115-145)
ferritin 4.4 (10-200)
I’m a bit concerned about my tsh going down 🤔 In terms of my iron deficiency, I have been taking iron nano for past 2 months but it looks like I haven’t achieved anything. My gynaecologist diagnosed me with an adenomyosis post c-section which is causing heavy periods. He gave me an option of Mirena coil or a uterine ablation. I’m not keen on any of these. Any insights would be much appreciated.

Am I hypo though? My period definitely varies and I had really bad ones in May and June but July one was a bit better. I will ask next time to check the other vitamins.
I’m tired but I don’t feel any other symptoms. I think I’ve got used to feel like this and I feel it’s normal. I think I’m going to double my dose of iron nano at least on the days when I don’t take carbimazole. Nobody ever suggested an infusion but I understand they are risky too.

and if this were a loved ones result - I'm sure you would feel it in your rights to question and ask what happens next medically when the result is dire and below the range -

Sending a couple of hugs as no one wants these sort of conversations but it would be remiss of the doctor not to do something.
