Does my conversion look OK?

I'm currently prescribed 100mcg Levothyroxine.

I'm still going low and slow and not taking my full dose, i know I'm definitely ready for 75mcg every day now with these results!

I'm finding the Vencamil is much better for my poor gastritis prone stomach, I have no idea why but Accord really doesn't agree with my digestive system and from what i read isn't usually one of the problematic brands (must just be me!)

My question is does my conversion look OK what roughly should the percentages be to feel well?

Thanks 😊

MamaMay33 I find that something over 70% through the ranges is good for me. You have a way to go yet and the TSH shows that you need more T4. Good idea to go slowly. So if you are taking 50 mcgm at the moment try half of 25mcgm tablet to move up to 62.5mcgm per day and see how you feel. I always allow up to 8 weeks before the next thyroid function test. We are all different as regards percentage through range and our sweet spot. TSH level shows you are still under treated and generally on here way say to have TSH at 1 or less. Once you have found your sweet spot, depending on the percentage through ranges for T4 and T3 you may see that you need some T3, but far too early to know that yet. Hope the next step goes well for you.
