sorry, I don't understand your question about being too high to suit endo? A TSH a 5 would suit most endos! (sadly).
To get results to suit endo in general re tsh,
1. take test first thing in morning (TSH is higher),
2. don't take any thryoid meds beforehand (TSH higher, thryoid hormones lower)
3. take blood tests fasting (TSH also higher, and fT3 lower),
4. to really make sure (if results are just to please endo) don't take any meds for almost 24 hrs before?
Is this what you are asking, if it's something I worte jnust go back tothe thread and point it out..I'm really tired and pushing myself so i don't have the energy to try to work it out..sorry
