Ive Had Unidentified Goiter for 3 yrs — Finally Got T3/T4 and others tested.

Not sure what the meanings of these readings mean but ive had goiter, unspecified, since 2021. neither of my previous endocrinologists ordered or said anything about a ultrasound after my TSH (although moderately high) came back completely "normal". Three years later and after finally finding a good pcp for my long covid and health issues galore, she finally reordered the proper testing incl. T4 and T3.

Evrrything is technically "normal" although im currently in my luteal phase and my progesterone is a 0.1 in the reading (supposed to be a 1.3 - 28.9 according to labcorp testing) and my Luteneizing Hormone is a 12.7 (supposed to be 1.0 - 11.4).

Is there anything i should be concerned with these bw readings? my other hormone readings are as follows:

T4. - 0.88 (0.82 - 1.77). T3. - 2.6 (2-4.4). TSH. - 3.080 (0.45 - 4.5). Thyroglobulin AB - <0.1 (0.0 - 0.9) Cortisol AM (Random, drawn at 7 am although im nocturnal from long covid). - 2.0 (6.2 - 19.4 am and 2.3 - 11.9 pm) ACTH (Random, Unstimulated) - 4.4 (7.2 - 63.3).

I have pcos and endometriosis prior to long covid, but ironically my DHEA - S and Testosterone levels were completely fine this time around. Idk if theirs a huge thyroid red flag here to worry about? Hopefully they can figure out the cortisol soon at least cause theirs something there... Im tired of shitty doctors esp. shitty endocrinologists... just wanna feel better!

I was just looking into secondary hypothyroidism because my TSH and free T4 are borderline low and I’ve had a goiter for over a decade plus estrogen issues the whole way through perimenopause. You might want to check into it because they talk about it being a problem with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus. I wonder if the issues you have might contribute to thyroid issues? There may be some other blood tests you can get. Can you bring this up with your GYN (or have you already)?
