You cannot use that lab to GUESS anything. It is not accurate.

So.. It's useless? Only because I took those 5 mcgs of T3 4 hours before the test Guess I will have to do another on on Monday then. I think FT3 looks a bit low anyway, so.. Yeah! What about adding 5 mcg to my T3 today!?

Why do you take any T3 before your blood draw? Sent from my iPhone

FT3 5.7 (3.5 - 7.0) Down from 6.2 on the 18th of FebruaryFT4 4.9TSH 0.42What do you say, wise ones? Need I more T3 now? Bear in mind, I took 5 mcg T3 only 4 hoursd before the blood was drawn!Thanks!

I know I shouldn't!!! But I missed my bedtime dose of 10 mcg, so I took 5 mcg while being VERY sleepy when I woke up at 7 and felt something was amiss. I wasn't thinking clearly. 5 mcg + 4 hours then blood draw. I guess not much of that T3 is left in the blood, so the FT3 isn't WAY off. I GUESS.

The FT4 is accurate, you didn't take any T4 in the morning. This is

the best reading I have seen for you, you have finally got the T3 high

enough too start suppressing T4 and hence started getting rid of RT3

seriously now

TSH is probably low from the T3 you took and yet is not too low, we

could do with it at 0.1 or even under.

FT3 is not accurate BUT it is under range. It won't be reading any

lower than the true reading so you are under range on FT3.

This all says that you are not on too much T3 from the point of view

of circulating thyroid levels.

The question then is do you have enough ferritin to support an

increase, the answer is probably to try it and see, add another 5mcg

and if you end up with an adrenaline rush and panic attack or too much

of your tickling heart feeling the don't take it the next day, in fact

miss out the following 5 and it will wear off in 3 hours or so.

Your choice, the labs say you are not on too much evenn though they

are reading high from taking T3, you are supplementing iron heavily

again. You say you feel you probably need an increase, give it a try

if you want.

See my other post.

FT3 will be equal to or lower than that.
