I dont have my appoint to talk about results for another week or so but my OB said they were abnormal. Can anyone explain it to me?

- Third Trimester .80-5.20
- I am currently on 25 mcg... so Im wondering if they will most likely be upping my dose or lowering.
- (I also have bipolar and my psychiatrist says I need to be on the higher end of normal)

- I am not concerned enough to call my doctor... I am just curious, and I know some people know a lot about thyroid and thought I could get a head start.
- T3, total-- 202 H 60-181 ng/dL
- T-4 (Thyroxine), total-- 10.8--4.5-12.5 mcg/dL
- Free T4 Index (T7)-- 1.7-- 1.4-3.8
- I have hypothyroidism and adhd and it con flicks with each other but I take 100 mcg of synthyriod and and it fluctuates all the time best thing go to web MD and look up thyroids it will explain a lot
- T3 uptake decreases during pregnancy. 15%-25% is normal.
Total T3 during pregnancy is 100 -220 ng/dl.
Seems like many of the values fluctuate during pregnancy. If your doctor isn't worried, I see no reason you should be.
- TSH W Reflex to Ft4-- 1.40-- mIU/L
- For Pregnant patients (I am 31 weeks preg)
- T-3 Uptake-- 16 L 22-35%
- Then it says >20 years: .40-5.50
- (Those were both highlighted, and above it says culture indicated - results to follow)
- If you are this interested to know what these results mean I would suggest that you call your doctor and express your concern and tell them you want some answers NOW. If they put you off then change doctors. Getting medical advice from on the internet is not a good idea.
