FT4 and FT3 that low would be a problem for me. Although the TSH is low, the FT3 isn't 'adequate' and neither is the FT4. Many of us have both menopause early (I was 39) and hypothyroidism. Your estradiol and progesterone are very low (menopause) as well as testosterone. As long as you get bioidentical hormones, you can be replaced for those as well.
