TT could be higher.
FT not tested. So only have half of the picture,
E2 is great!

TSH is way to high, should be closer to 1.0
T3=.8 is way below mid-range
fT4=1.0 is below mid-range
rT3 is definitely elevated.
fT3 is the active hormone, not tested, expected low

Please note major change in rT3 range. Did you type that correctly? Different company?

What has been your source of iodine?
Feeling cold easily?
Outer eyebrows sparse?

This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.
