Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi, I have been taking Armour since September & have just had my first blood test since switching from levothyroxine (which I had been on for 3 + years). Some of you may remember that I had 3 miscarriages, all missed miscarriages at 11 weeks last Sep. Dec. & August. I was hoping that switching to Armour might make the difference but I'm not sure there is much change, looking at my results..... At the moment I am just taking 1 1/2 grains & so far haven't managed to get higher than that (I used to take 100 mcg levothyroxine). I did the adrenal questionaire & didn't have much of a problem there. Last time I had my ferritin level checked (before the summer) it was 38, still low but an improvement on 19 a few months earlier. Anyway my results this time were: T4 9.5 (9-19) TSH 0.72 (0.35-4.95) FT3 3.8 (2.6-5.7) It seems that my FT3 level has hardly changed & my FT4 has dropped. (Results in July were: T4 14, TSH 1.46 & FT3 3.8) If anything I would say that I haven't felt quite as good on Armour as Levothyroxin - of course I changed to Armour in the hope that it might help with being able to have a baby). I would love some help with interpreting the rsults because of course they are all normal so far as the doctor's surgery is concerned!!
