How much T3 you take does not interfere with converting any T3 ot T3.

What it does cahnge is loweirng RT3 which DOES affect converison.

>And even though I dropped 1.5 grains 2 days before the test, it wouldn't matter

because T4 builds and stays in the system?

Labs taken 2 days after a dose change show the old T4 dose, not the

new one

T3 takes around 3 days to stabilise on a dose, T4 around 6 weeks.

If your TSH is not fully suppressed there is also a change in your own

thyroid production as well and that has yet another time constant
