Help understanding recent blood test results.. next steps?

[PaleoGirl]

Hello, I am looking for some help interpreting my recent thyroid bloods.

TSH 3.04 (range 0.40-2.50 high

FT4 9.01 range 7.86-14.41

FT3 3.4 range 3.8-6.0 low

RT3 0.30 range 0.14-0.54

TT4 74.10 range 78.38-157.40 low

FT4:FT3 ratio 2.7

Anti TG <0.9

Anti TPO <1

How do I interpret these results, what's going on and what am I trending towards? Why low Ft3? Is it poor conversion of T4 to T3 (add selenium supplement). What about desiccated thyroid or T3?

I am 49 peri-meno very recently so about to explore HRT, now I have these bloods back. Fairly stressful year. Paleo diet.

Any thoughts in best way forward much appreciated.

You posted something similar 4 years ago and got some good replies that are as applicable to this latest post as they were then.

It very much looks like a central (secondary) hypothyroidism issue.

Have you seen a doctor with these results? What have they said?
