So just got blood word back for my thyroid, unfortunately my Dr was a pain and didn’t order RT3 or FT3, but these were my results:
TSH - 3.03
FT4 - 1
Total T3 - 92
Taking 2.5iu 2 x day of rips along with Test. Knew T4 would be low as HGH increases conversion. TSH I am assuming is high because either my active T3 is low or because like stated above the my body wants to continue to convert because HGH is keeping the conversion process high.
Sucks I don’t have the other 2 numbers, but based on the above what are your thoughts?
I see 2 options, buy my own FT3/RT3 test and go from there or (I was prepared for this) I have T4/T3 en route, I could start dosing that and then pull bloods (excluding RT3) again in a few weeks.
I doubt my FT3 is in the middle or top of the range based on the low level of Total T3 and unless my body is converting all of it to active T3, I know dosing exogenous T3 the RT3 wont matter.
I read exogenous T3 will reduce TSH and increase T4 because I will not need any, only thing is I don’t know how much I need. Was thinking start at 25mcg and get bloods after 2 weeks if I go the route of bloodwork after starting. Knew I wasn’t burning fat the way I should be on GH (even though it’s slow and steady) with how clean I’ve been eating.
Sorry for the long drawn out post, any help/comments are appreciated!
