Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Just thought I would try this again, this time with 's name in the subject line. I know that she is quite busy with her own house full! I really thank everyone for all of their help. And to - I am kind of worried that even cutting down to 100 mgs / day is not going to be a drastic enough change to raise the numbers again. Any more help is greatly appreciated. (back to old post) I got new labs yesterday and here are my results: 10-16-03 - have been on 50 mg. PTU 3x per day FT3 3.31 norms(1.7 - 3.7) FT4 0.80 (.7 - 1.9) TSH 0.01 (.3 - 5.0) 8-28-03 - had been on 100 mg. PTU 3x per day FT3 3.84 (1.7 - 3.7) FT4 1.0 (.7 - 1.9) TSH .01 (.3 - 5.0) 8-12-03 FT3 4.25 (1.7 - 3.7) FT4 1.5 (.7 - 1.9) TSH 0.1 (.3 - 5.0) 7-22-03 FT3 5.18 (1.7 - 3.7) FT4 1.9 (.7 - 1.9) TSH .01 (.3 - 5.0) 6-26-03 - began PTU 100 mg. 3x per day FT4 3.1 (.7 - 1.9) TSH .01 (.3 - 5.0) Okay, so my question is - how much PTU do I cut? My docs think that my dosage is fine because all they really see is the TSH. Please also know, however, that I have told them about all of my dosage cuts and what I have been doing and they have not had any problems with that as long as I have been feeling good. I am very worried since the FT4 is so low. I would really rather see it up at the top of the range somewhere, especially with what I have read about being pregnant. Oh, sorry, by the way I am now 25 weeks pregnant. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I need to know how much to cut my dosage. I don't want to go too crazy, but I am to the point where I feel like my numbers are VERY low! Thanks for all of your input! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
