high T3 total
I am about 10 pounds overweight. I have been working out with a trainer (light weights and cardio) and following a strict (but healthy) diet since May and have not lost a pound. During a routine visit to the ENT doctor, he thought my thyroid looked large. I had a sonogram that was normal and my blood work came back with the following results. What does this mean and what should I do? I am 21 years old.

Most common reasong would be birth control pill causing a false elevation in T3 - otherwise the thyroid labs are perfectly normal.
Was there a FREE T3 testing done?
