Time of thyroid blood test appointment.

[robynrose67]

Hi everyone, I have my thyroid bloodtest appointment at the docs booked for 9:30am would you say this is too late in the morning or ok?

I know to not take levo before the test and don't eat before it.

Thanks.

That will be fine

Take your levothyroxine after blood test

Important to get TSH, Ft4 and Ft3 tested

Plus test vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin

What vitamin supplements are you taking

Stop any supplements that contain biotin 3-5 days before test

Ok thanks SlowDragon.My docs only test tsh and ft4, so I will have to get the rest private.

I am taking just vitamin D and folic acid as I am trying to conceive.
