Whats up guys, Anyone have an iodine blood test to see if iodine supplementation would be beneficial for your thyroid or just pissing away money on something not necessarily needed? Looks like there is a blood and urine test, the urine being more expensive then the blood serum test. I have...

Trying to get dialed in... My Thyroglobulin levels were on the high side, but doc seemed unconcerned. When I take too much testosterone, I have allergy like symptoms. So, I can't help but wonder if it's connected. Thoughts or ideas ??? Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct, S T4, Free(Direct) 1.15...

Hi, anyone started TRT and did not receive the mental/sexual benefits until finding out there may be a thyroid problem? I started TRT a few months ago and while I felt a little better, I am not feeling my best. I still lack libido, have fatigue and want to sleep a lot. I'm starting to think I...

I feel OK but my latest bloodwork shows my TSH high. Could this be a lab mistake or is my thyroid really out of whack?

Has anyone else experienced premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or other ectopic beats once GH is commenced? I've been prone to PVCs over the last couple years in varying frequencies. I take more than enough magnesium as a mainstay and many other supps to support cardio health. I am also...

Hi all, I posted a short while ago about wanting off trt due to suffering facial flushing/redness every evening. Tried higher/lower dose of testosterone. Tried raising and lowering e2. Came off examestine, now I have been off hcg for a week. Nothing had had an affect on it, hct is 4 7 so...

Henry H. Lindner1 Current professional guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism abandon clinical medicine for a laboratory exercise: TSH and free T4 normalization. This approach is both illogical and ineffective. The TSH level is not a measure of thyroid hormone sufficiency...

The short story is that meet Total test is about 600 on 100mg IM every 5 days. I still have alot of anxiety, mood issues, tremors, fatigue, Ed, sleep issues, blood pressure high, etc. I am even having some hoarseness in my throat near my thyroid. I'm trying to look at other hormones that could...

VA didn't have a Dr for me at local clinic, result I got a bunch of test done! I was really struggling with a T dose of 200mg split daily and in anticipation of new bloods I lowered dose to 150mg a week for one week and then to 140mg a week, a game I have to play so VA wont cut my dose. However...

I’ve been on trt going on 11 years and for the last couple years I’ve been struggling with fatigue especially in the afternoon. I noticed by early morning temp has fallen to the low 97 range and used to be up near 99. I recently did another complete thyroid panel and my levels are still within...

Hi All, Got bloods back today. Test numbers look great but libido has left the station a few weeks ago. Looks like TSH is high. Doc started me on 50mcg Synthroid generic. Do you think the TSH could be the culprit?

Good morning everbody, Im 27 y. old, 80kg, 12% bf. I´m hypothyroid and and have hypogonadism. I´m on a HCG-Monotherapy. I think that my thyroid gland is not yet functioning properly and therefore my testosterone synthesis is also limited. When my metabolism is better again, the HCG therapy will...

I wanted to get some feedback on my recent thyroid labs. Over the years my tsh has risen and free t4 as well as free t3 have fallen. My body temp has dropped a degree or so as well. Also I’ve had more trouble losing weight lately. The numbers aren’t terrible but there’s several articles online...

From my many posts on this forum many people probably know by now that I am a Low SHBG guy (8-18 labcrop range) which manifested after starting TRT 10 yrs ago... I have never gotten dialed in despite numerous changes in Test dosage, injections, etc... It's been a struggle to lose weight despite...

How log should I wait for my endogenous Thyroid to come back 100% and run...

Hello everyone. Following my failed attempt at restarting my natural testosterone production, I'm back on HRT in the form of 500iu HCG 3x p/w. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current issues: Always cold, especially extremities Absent Libido...

I can’t seem to find a benefit to using Armour or other similar NDT over a compounded t3/t4 combo of an ideal ratio. Seems like Armour will always be inconsistent because it is made from pig thyroid I believe, measured in grains and not mg’s. Why risk a potentially bad batch of Armour instead of...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my thyroid, bun(1st time my bun has been this high, it usually sits at 21), ast, and alt results. Feel free to ask about any other doubts you may have. A quick summary of what I have been doing. I did a 26 week cut and I know when...

So I've retested some tests at a different lab and there are many things that are out of range. I don't know where to start, or how to go about with treatment, or what is causing what, or if there is a direct connection between any of them and one of them is throwing the others off. I don't...

I am attaching Latest Thyroid labs for comment if you will. I'm feeling some better but still tired and slow. TSH is up from 1.5 I was taking a 50% Icariin product from Vijay for erectile quality but have since quit. I read a single study where Icariin can affect thyroid nin ssome people-who...

Hello everyone. I have been looking to get back on the TRT train after falling off the past few months. I am going to start doing my injections regularly and everything. However I want to know if its really worth it to try and tackle Thyroid and DHEA too? According to my results collected last...

Has anyone tested thyroid hormones using LC/MS-MS instead of immunoassay testing? I read a study about the inaccuracy of the immunoassay when testing levels in the lower part of the range especially for free t3. My most recent free t3 level by immunoassay was 2.5pg/ml range 2.0-4.4pg/ml. With a...

Hi, I have been taking 3/4 grain Naturethroid and 20 mcg Cytomel at about 3:30 am when I wake up to pee. At 8:15am, I did a blood draw. Results: TSH 0.922 (0.45 - 4.50) FT3 6.1 (range 2.0-4.4) FT4 0.67 (range 0.82-1.77) Am I taking too much cytomel or is this just a function of testing a...
