Lori, when my free T4 was 1.3 I still felt terrible. When my Endo (not RE) got my dosage up to the point where my T4 was 1.9, I finally felt good. And I lost nearly 8 pounds in an instant and dropped to the weight I was prior to my thyroid going crazy on me. Before that I tried everything short of starvation and I couldn't drop one pound. 8 pounds may not seem like a lot to some people, but that was nearly 7% of my body weight!

Granted, when my T4 was 1.3 my TSH was 4.8, so it was higher than yours. When my T4 reached 1.9 my TSH was .44. The TSH is on the low end of normal but thats a good thing since we're TTC. Good luck to you!
