Hyperactive thyroid - 8 week appointment

[bunnyrabbit93]

Hi all,

I am 8 weeks and recently had my booking appointment where the midwife took my blood. The results came back and I have a hyperactive thyroid ( expected I have a cyst on my thyroid and it was hyperactive when I was expecting my daughter ). I'm a bit worried this time as it's higher than ever.
I'm being referred to a endocrinologist I was never in medication with my daughter so you think I will be now ? What have other ladies with hyperactive thyroid numbers when they were medicated ? I was never given anything with my daughter but had no symptoms. But now I'm noticing I'm getting heart palpations and diarrhoea sorry tmi !

Thanks for your help ladies

Ft3 9
Ft4 21.1
TSH

Do you have the reference ranges for those results? That makes a difference in how they're interpreted. Where I live, that FT4 would still be well within range, which would mean that you were not necessarily hyperthyroid.

My ft4 is always in range but my perilous endocrainologist said it didn't really matter as ft4 is transferred into t3

Ft3 highest 6
Ft4 highest is 22

On my notes it says I have thyrotoxicosis

I didn't have any TSH whatsoever, I can't remember where FT4 was but it had tripled from usual (TSH and T4 had been monitored at least twice a year for years, long term medication with potential to wreck thyroid) and it kept rising. We started meds (carbimazole and propranolol) the same day the results came in. I feel at my best slap bang in the middle of the range, around 2.5 TSH and the others well way away from the upper limits - once we got there and stayed there for several months I was able to run a marathon and felt fine. It's important not to dwell on the numbers though and go by how you feel. I'm still on carbimazole, it might be different once thyroid dies (or is removed) and I move onto replacement thyroxine. Also I wasn't pregnant!

My T4 not far above range but T3 stubbornly soaring, apparently this isn't completely unusual with Graves.

How's it going OP? Hope palpitations and constant runny 💩 symptoms are better.
