I’ve just finished IR. I know increased iodine intake increases TSH. How long do I need to wait for TSH to return to normal so I can do labs?
Anyone?
Also, a bit more info. I’ve just found out thyroid problems run in my family. My mum is hypothyroid and my aunt had thyroid cancer.
I’ve just started TRT. Should I wait until my 6 week labs are in before I see a doc re thyroid issues?
@KSman what are your thoughts re post ir lab timings?
You first need to post oral body temperatures. If they are good you do not need thyroid labs.
Selenium is important and critical during IR.
Did you notice any change in energy or clarity of thought?
What is your maintenance source of iodine?
@KSman Average morning temp for the last 7 days was 36.0c, mid afternoon average 36.4c.
Not sure if there is any change in clarity of thought. Fatigue seems the same. My mood does seem improved, although this could be due to just starting trt.
Maintenance iodine comes from dairy (1000g Greek yoghurt a week) and a daily thyroid multi vit which includes 150mcg iodine and 200mcg selenium.
