thyroid

My trt journey has been all over the map, high doses, low doses, different esters, injections ed, eod, e3d, hcg, etc., etc. And I have been pretty diligent to start a protocol and stick with it for at least 8 weeks or so to see if benefits manifest before changing. Yet that sweet spot never...

About 6wks ago increased levothyroxine from 50 to 62.5ug

So been having strange symptoms recently. My thyroid values came back good besides Thyroglobulin antibodies which were high. The other antibodies were normal though. Also good TSH, T3, T4, reverse T3 etc.. so I got an ultrasound on my thyroid just received a vague response from my primary...

hi there, I did try HCG however it gave me palpatations (and slight agitated energy, perhaps partially from increase T or estrogen within 30-40 min of first use) even at low 100iu doses. it was a less used brand that was suppost to last for 60 days vs pregnyl 30.. and i wonder if it is slightly...

According to this study, Thyroid level are at the highest between 10pm and 10am, why then everyone takes it during the day? wouldn't make sense to take the first dose at night before bed, and second right after waking up? I may want to try this actually. Free Triiodothyronine Has a Distinct...

Recently I have done my blood work and my doctor told me that everything is ok... However, after doing my own research on thyroid hormones, low t, prolactin etc I know that there is something wrong with my body. Now I know that I might have subclinical hypothyroidism and that may be the cause...

Hi guys, I’m curious how much NDT you are taking. I’m sure it varies somewhat per individual but nonetheless I’m trying to get a “ball-park” estimate. Please mention the brand of NDT too. Thanks.

Is it possible to take take much armour thyroid? At four grains daily my levels are still low.

I have been taking 2 grains (120mg) of NDT and recently got lab work done. The STTM (Stop the Thyroid Madness) community said I have T3 pooling going on because my Free T4 is low while Free T3 is high, indicating higher Reverse T3 not allowing the Free T3 to enter into the cells. Hence, the...

Hi guys. I've been doing well so far with the introduction of thyroid medications to my regimen. It seems TRT alone was slowly killing my already lazy thyroid and I was feeling always tired and in a low mood state, despite proper androgens numbers on paper. I then started adding T4 first, but...

I have been on trt for many years, last few years just not feeling well, thought it was my trt dose or estrogen, ran many blood tests and found out recently my cortisol has been consistently low, went to the Hospital and they ran the Cortrosyn stimulation test on me and my adrenals did not...

hello, with TRT, you take a smidge of testosterone, your own production goes awol completely, it's like an all or nothing effect. is taking thyroid meds like this? thinking of starting it up and making my life even more complicated since the shitshow that trt produces clearly isnt enough for me...

I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism around 6 months ago, I was very much symptomatic despite only having a TSH of 3ish and low but in range T3 and T4 levels. I was initially put on NDT (NP thyroid but that did little to change any of my symptoms, doctor put me on Levothyroxine...

How's it going everyone? I have 2 concerns. I want to double check my knowledge. My first understanding is that vitamin b12 does not interfere with thyroid testing - only biotin does. Is this true or should all b vitamins be avoided to have accurate thyroid testing? Secondly, I currently have...

Hey guys. I got my thyroid numbers today. In my country we get levothyroxine without prescription in pharmacies. I am thinking about supplementing T4 to bring my TSH between 1-2. What dose should I start with. 25 mg or better 50. Since starting TRT my TSH is climbing continuously. TSH: 2.23...

I been looking around trying to find what optimal thyroid numbers are. Not having any luck, everything just gives what's considered in range. Which is a pretty wide gap. Has anyone seen in info on this before?

63 years of age and have struggled with fat loss for decades. I walk 70,000+ steps per week, lift weights 5 days per week. I eat a very strict diet consisting of: oatmeal, chicken breast, salmon, lean pork, vegetables, yogurt. I weight the meat for correct portion control. I am...

I have searched for the answer endlessly and only got conflicting reports . Does Thyroid hormone ( T4,t3) reduce Estrogen or raise it ? What is their effects on the aromatase enzyme ? Thank you . All seems very confusing and I think the TRT/testosterone community could benefit from the correct...

Hi, not sure where to go. Symptoms: low energy, fatigue are my biggest. followed by no libido, cold hand & feets + brainfog. labs show following: TSH - 0.79 ( Ref 0.3 - 3.18) fT3 - 4.65 (Ref 4.09 - 6.65) fT4 - 16.8 ( Ref 13.1 - 21.3) Testosteron 3.86 ( Ref 2.49 - 8.36 ) SHBG 23.5...

For a long time, I've seen many experts say TSH should be around 1-2 or 1-1.5. In my blood work, my TSH is always higher and I have a tendency to gain fat easily. Before messing with meds, I decided to try Beef Thyroid supplements a shot, to try to see if this could make any difference to get...

I was surprised to see these results, as based on Stop The Thyroid Madness, I really thought optimal would be achieved with over two grains. I wasn’t able to hold the dose for a full month before labs due to traveling, but actually a bit less than 4 weeks. My GF also on the same dose, but held...

Hello, is it possible have low libido and poor erection due to low iodine? And I also have symptoms as hypothyroidism (hair loss, dry skin, cold intolerance, poor memory and concentration)? My blood results: TSH varies from 3.7 to 1.98 (0.350 - 4.94) Ant TG: <15 (0 - 115) FT4: 12.45 (9.01 -...

A few doctors have touted the little-known thyroid hormone T2 to be used to help burn brown fat. Since there is only a tiny amount (8mg) in my NDT, I was thinking of adding it for the purported benefits...
