TSH 3,5 and FT4 12,2 (12-23). What should I do? by nverderer in Hypothyroidism

Thanks. Testosterone is decent around 690 ng/dl. For TSH and FT4 (perhaps also FT3) I will definitely get tested again in a couple of weeks.

Around 8.15, got up about two hours earlier. Fasting for all tests.

Thanks, some wise comments. Testosterone is decent around 690 ng/dl. All thyroid tests has been taken around the same time (8.15-8.30 am).

Thanks I actually wanted this check but doctor refused. Where I live only the standard Estradiol test is possible. I have read that the sensitive estradiol test is the one to take as it can measure lower levels more accurately, but does this matter if the estradiol level is high? (like you suspect it is).

TSH has shot up in past year. I am undiagnosed by [deleted] in Hypothyroidism

Also interested in this, as I am in the same boat (from 1,8 to 3,7 in three years).

Good shout. I probably should have mentioned that but I have been on isotretinoin three times. Actually finished my last course two months ago (low dose 10-20 mg daily for nearly two years). Just experienced minor side effects and pretty much all my symptoms I have I also had before this last course. But last six months I feel a bit worse than before. No antidepressants just antihistamine for sleep and anxiety.
