I had my blood work done yesterday for my thyroid. My lower number (I dont remember the technical name for it) is lower than 0.01. My T3 and T4 were both 1.93


What does this mean?

I have to go for a thyroid scan in a week.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like Hyperthyroidism. Am I missing something else here?

Without the full report we really can't stay for certain what's going on. If your TSH is lower than 0.01, it either means that your pituitary is crapped out and not working right, in which case your T3 & T4 would be LOW, or you are hyperthyroid (too much hormone) in which case your T3 & T4 would be HIGH.

So, it can mean anything... it's the T3 and T4 numbers we need to evaluate... and we need your lab's lab ranges in order to see what those numbers mean.

ok.....I will call my endo back on Monday to get the full report.

Man...should I be worried? Will this (thyroid thingy) make it even harder TTC when I decide to go for #3? So many ?'s!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHHHMMMMMMM

Thanks,
Amanda

Assuming you can become adequately medicated, it should not make TTC any harder. It just means you'll need to monitor one more thing, really.
