| Anyone wanna take a stab at these labs?
So I'm working on collecting my lab records as far back as I can. So far I only have 3 of my labs over the past two years, and as you can see, not all of the same labs were drawn on every occasion (missing ones are indicated with a ?). But, I think it paints an interesting picture. Please notice my TSH the first time, when I was easily and quickly losing baby weight (~4 months post partum) and how it raised up when I started packing on the pounds again (~18 months post partum). Anyways, have fun with this. For some things of interest, I put little ** next to them with comments. I'm waiting on auntie flo to pay me a visit so I can do my LH/FSH again since last time they were not done on cycle day 3.
For a few days I was thinking that maybe this was hyperparathyroidism (check out calcium level in comparison to PTH) but I also see that the phosphorus was high too. So I dunno. Plus, that doesn't explain weight gain and low FT4. So like I said, have fun with this one!!

I know the general philosophy is that someone can have "normal" labs and still be hypo. But there are also some weird things going on which seem to conflict each other. Typical hypo symptoms. My endo is scratching his head and basically running a full pituitary panel.
