    I've got her on some iron supplements along with zinc/copper and magnesium. She's injecting 10mg Test per week and is starting to feel much better. Our workouts are getting better and the fatigue isn't as bad. Will retest in a few weeks.

    She's also taking 50mcg of Liquid T3 in the morning. We're both not really feeling the T3, so I might start upping the dosage a little.

    WOW! This method of self medicating is very risky.

    That's too much test starting out of the gate on BHRT. Not knowing when the labs were taken in conjunction to her cycle makes commenting difficult at best. Not seeing progesterone or cortisol, or free/bio T (SHBG could calculate), which would be essential. Not to be rude, but 5'-2 @ 152lbs might be part of the problem here. There's other variables related with the thyroid, like Hashis, she needs TPO & TgAb antibodies labs to make sure this isn't a problem.

    She shouldn't be taking T3 alone. Her T4 is low, and her body will make it even less of it if you keep adding T3. The brain converts its own T4 to T3 - the body needs T4. I would seriously advise you to find a suitable doctor as the two of you doing this alone cannot manage complex health issues based on internet advice. You are already in over your head.
