Women don't have prostates, man. Nor would they be affected particularly by T3, even if they did (and believe me, they do not).
I've started girls off at 12.5mcg or 20mcg for a couple weeks, and then saw if any adjustments were needed.
I don't like posting on this forum much, so forgive me if I don't get back to you for any responses.
Make sure the girl in question, should she decide to use T3, takes gugglesterones post-cycle. Also, have her take kelp tablets post-cycle as if it were her job to do so.
As insinuated above, she'd want to ramp the dose until she'd find an effective regular dosage. Have her take it once per day. It has a long life. I prefer the morning, personally.
Because of its long life, and because of the biofeedback loop, I really see no true point in tapering off. When she comes off, I'd just have her come off, but be careful with the diet (especially carbs), so as not to experience rebound before her thyroid fully recovers from its less active condition. The post-cycle items I mentioned will help a lot, too.
Kelp is quite inexpensive, too.
Ah. That's enough from me. Good luck to you and good luck to her.

My girlfriend starts hers tomorrow for Hypothyroidism. She is pretty nervous about it...

Needsize-
lol
As long as the girls you "hang" with aren't sportin' testicles and penises, you're okay.
B bold the truth-
Your girl will likely be put on Synthroid, which is considered "inactive". I don't like it at all. More suppressive, but it's what is prescribed here in the US. Maybe you should try putting her on the kelp tabs alone or in combination with the gugglesterones to see if that takes care of her issue before you resort to thyroxin. I really am not a fan of T4. IMO, it sets you up for dependency, and I think human beings are already dependent enough because of food, water, and shelter. Who wants more constraints upon your limited freedom?
Later, man.

I have no idea what you just said...lol. They are giving her something to speed up her thyroid hoping that it will jumpstart itself within 6 months. She weighed 134 pounds today...biggest she has ever been in her life by far...

Okay. If that something is Synthroid (l-thyroxin/l-thyroxine), I'd advise you to urge her to consider it as an option if all else fails.
Kelp tablets can be bought at any suppliment store and most large supermarkets. Gugglesterones can be bought at most supplement stores. Try the kelp by itself at first. Should be around ten bucks for a bottle of them.
It really depends on what her thyroid issues are, though. She could have too little overall output. She could be deficient in the deiodinase enzyme that turns T4 to T3. Could be autoimmune. Could be an iodine deficiency. I'd find out what they plan to give her before she follows the advice blindly.
Of course, I realize I am just a guy on the 'net, so this may be hard to swallow.
If they are dead set on giving her T4, I can suggest a more balanced alternative.

Baoh, great information. Would you mind sharing what dosages of kelp/guggul you suggest post cycle and for what duration; also, how long would you run a T3 cycle with a woman if you were somewhat conservative?
Also, isn't T3 only somewhat catabolic?

Thanks for all the advice. I'd love to talk to you about this...maybe through messenger, email, or phone. She is 1/2 way across the world right now and started her meds today. This started when she moved to the US (maybe a connection between the iodine and medittereanean diet thing...) and has gained like 20+ pounds since. She is almost 5'1" too...so she feels HUGE!!!
