what do u make of this..

[phatkid77]

my wife had radioactive iodine treatment and gets thyroxin at 100mcg/day...

currently pregnant, and got thyroid re-checked due to irritability and other thyroid related sides....

TSH < 0.05
free t4 -16

thanks

well... doctor just called with her labs from March..

TSH .03
Free T4 was 23....

so would she be feeling this way at 16 VS 23??

here ENDO said (while at 23) that she is high normal, but since she felt good.....he'll keep her at her dose...

now, she has bowel issues, irritable, ect, we dont know if we can attribute this to pregnancy or the drop from 23 to 16??

would another 12mcg get her to where she was??

thannks

Post FreeT3 and FreeT4, numbers, units, range.
Ask for Armour thyroid.

not sure if they did T3..

in canada, no armour...thyroid i believe??

getting levothyroxin...

Free T4 was 16, range (10-20pmol/L)

i guess (we hope) i answered my own question...

had the recent test been 23.... the symptoms would be due to pregnancy...
but since she dropped to 16....thats probable...
