Confused! Help!
Hi!
The thing is.. I got my thyroid profile back and i think everything is fine. I just want to double check:
Anti Thyroglobulin antibodies (TGA) - 10.91 IU/mL
Anti Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) - 11.58 IU/mL
Free T3 - 3.07 pg/mL
Free T4- 1.30 ng/dl
TSH 3.33
But, I have symptoms of HypoT so i just wanted to know whether this is ok or should I go to the doc to check it out.

Hi,
better see your doc to find out his approach.
Two possible approaches I think.
1. Trial a low dose of thryoid meds to see if you feel better and the numbers improve. Should be monitoring of course.
2. Monitor in 3 months and see whether the numbers are getting better or worse.
From my perspective see if your doc will go with No. 1.

If my doc doesn't agree on putting me on medication for HypoT, what should I do? Should I trust him?
Sorry,
the ranges are
TGA 0-100
TPO 0-34
FT3 1.80-4.60
FT4 .93-1.70
TSH .27 - 4.20
@Thelma :
Ive been loosing a lot of hair (balding) recently. My menses are irregular. They skip a month or I might get it twice in a month or the flow is quite light (like a few drops a day during my periods). Then, I'm quite fat and even though I exercise regularly, I haven't been able to keep my weight off
Also, I'm always tired and sleepy
and for some reason, I always feel like swallowing even though there is nothing in my mouth
could it be PCOS if not hypoT

TGA 0-100
TPO 0-34

I forgot to mention that it's possible to have symptoms of hypoT for a long period of time BEFORE the labs show a problem. You might do well with a small trial dose of thyroid hormone.
Again, please post the reference ranges from your lab report and the members will be able to better help you.
