Vit-D25 should be near 60, take 5000iu per day. In arctic you can’t make your own.
“my Dr. put me on HCG and Clomid”
both at once is really wrong
Edit your 1st post in this thread and add the lab ranges to the results list.
On high dose iodine, TSH will be high and TSH results not usable.
High dose iodine without selenium is a real risk for thyroid autoimmune disease.
Thyroid hormone fT3 is the only active thyroid hormone and should be tested directly. T3 uptake is obsolete.
HTC: take mini aspirin and fish oil to improve blood flow, avoid iron fortified foods, read the labels: rice, flour, cereals, pasta, mixes, vitamins. HTC progressing as you reduced T dose.
Most who come here have some thyroid issues. Please eval via oral body temperatures - see below. This involves the balance of fT3 and opposing rT3.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re Thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab numbers and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
