Help with Results and Hair Loss
Hi, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism formally in July 2020, and put on 50mg Levo initially although my TSH levels had been over 5 for the 2 years prior to 2020 with the GP saying they would just monitor 🤦🏼‍♀️ subsequent blood tests after starting Levo showed the TSH was up and down, but GP kept

Ferritin and Iron
I found some information below about Ferritin and Iron - it is from the Dr Mercola website. I have just had my ferritin levels and iron levels checked - The Doctor said they were a bit on the low side so I am taking some gentle iron. My ferritin was 50.9 - I never heard of ferritin before having RLS

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

Low Testosterone Linked With Mortality Risk in Aging Men - by Jeff Minerd , Contributing Writer, MedPage Today May 13, 2024
No way to know if this is applicable to those on ADT, but it would seem to be relevant for consideration. The highlighted portion is a useful guide on male sex hormone targets for those testing them. These results might also add support for Morgentaler's [i]"Saturation Model"[/i] for testosterone. Full

Hypothyroid symptoms but normal test results
Thank you in advance for any insight. These are my test results, sourced from a private company - Randox. I would be hugely grateful for any help in interpreting these or my symptoms. I have experienced severe weight gain - which NOTHING will shift including weight loss drugs. I have had a hormonal

When is 5.6 not 5.6
For as long as I can remember my FT3 has been 5.6 with a consistent dose of 2 grains of Thyroid S and a consistent range of (3.4 - 6.8). 18 months ago I moved to another part of the country where the FT3 range is (2.5 - 5.5). Technically my FT3 is now over range although no one seems to be too worried

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower TSH - but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted. I know I need to my levels on the lower side due to previous thyroid

stopping vitamins before tests
hi everyone, I can’t remember if I have to stop my vitamin b12 and D before doing my medichecks test - the one that tests for t3, t4, tsh, folate, b12, D, ferritin and inflammation. I’m taking the vitamins in spray form now so no biotin - is there any other reason I have to stop before testing? Thanks

when to take T3 if already taking levothyroxine
hi. I’ve just received my T3 (Tiromel) and I’ve been advised that my dose is 5MG daily. I take 50 MG levothyroxine on waking each day. When is best to take the T3? At the same time? Is food/caffeine/other medication to be avoided for a few hours after similar to the levothyroxine? Thanks!

Liothyroine tablet to capsules?
Hi not posted here in a while so today I was told my TSH is super low below 0.5 and my bloodwork was done before taking my t3. Currently take 40 mcg liothyroine in tablet form. They suggested I go down to 30mcg daily 15 in morning 15 in evening. However they have swapped it to liothyroine capsules.
