Would like to know your take on my recent TSH, t4, and t3 uptake levels are.

I am on trt, and just got done with a "blast"

TSH- 5.37 (.45-4.5)
T4- 6.0 (4.5-12.0)
t3 uptake- 49 (24-39)

All other labs were normal considering what I was running.

I won't even tell you what total test was ;)

Your TSH is on the higher side. Were you at any time on thryroid replacement drugs?

TSH value should be followed in 8 weeks or so after the first one to see if TSH is still high. If it is higher than 4.0 next time, ask your doc if you should get thyroid replacement medication.

As long as there were no thyroid meds, just recheck thyroid function in 8 weeks and see if there are any changes post cycle.
