bloodwork results - need some help

currently on 250mg test per week, i just started HCG @ 250iu 3x a week, and 50mcg T3 ED. she doesnt know any of this. here are the things that are out of range. obviously i am ok with my t3 being high as i am on t3. in parenthesis are the range.

my guess is that the TSH is in charge of producing T4 which produces T3. so as a result of taking exogenous T3 the TSH shuts down, resulting in no T4. am i correct?


TSH- 0.453uIU/mL (0.270 - 4.200)

Free T3- 5.63pg/mL (2.00 - 4.40)

Free T4- 0.58ng/dL (0.80 - 1.90)

Hemoglobin- 18.3 G/DL (13.0 - 18.0)

Hematocrit- 52.4% (39 - 52)

If the body has adequate or above normal levels of T3 the thyroid will stop producing T4. As its production is no longer required.

This is what can lead to long term suppression of the thyroid gland. Just like when you take testosterone it shuts down your natural production of testosterone. When you take T3 it shuts down your natural production of T4.

I do have to ask, why are you fucking around with your thyroid just to get your T3 production slightly above the normal ranges? Anything less than 75-100mcg is just a waste of time in my opinion. Sure it will show minor results but at the cost of potentially shutting your thyroid gland down permanently.

it's not slightly above normal, if the range is 2-4.4, then 5.6 is almost double the median.. but i do get what you're saying though. when i run t3 i ramp up from 50 and end up at 100-125 depending on how i look. but i've ran t3 on and off for years with no issues coming off ever. the thyroid gland is quite resilient.
 
Gill wondering how you made out donating. Seeing your hemoglobin number make me think they wouldnt let you unless it was a prescribed phlebotomy. Usually when they test your hemoglobin with finger prick they will turn you down if its to high or to low. Hope it worked out for you. For all this is the importance of staying up to date with regular donations while in this lifestyle.
